903   ImageGeorge W. Laird, 3c Black on Old Paper, Perforated, Double Transfer (RT14pa). Position 14, magenta "G.W.L. Aug. 1871" manuscript cancel, tiny thin spot at bottom visible only in fluid

VERY FINE APPEARANCE. THIS IS THE FINEST EXAMPLE OF THE PERFORATED 3-CENT GEORGE W. LAIRD PERFUMERY ISSUE ON OLD PAPER.

The Aldrich census reports that three are known but notes the 1934 census states eight are known. We have been able to locate only three: 1) double transfer, position 14, magenta manuscript cancel, the example offered here, ex Joyce; 2) double transfer, not Position 14, small thin and light horizontal crease, apparently uncancelled, ex Eagle and Bulkley (Rumsey Sale 48, lot 536, realized $6,750 hammer); and 3) magenta and blue cancels, few creases and thin spot, ex Siegel Sale 219 and Tolman (Siegel Sale 915, realized $3,500 hammer)

VERY FINE APPEARANCE. THE UNIQUE GEORGE W. LAIRD 3-CENT PERFUMERY ISSUE PERFORATED ON SILK PAPER. ONE OF THE GREATEST RARITIES OF ALL PRIVATE DIE PROPRIETARY COLLECTING.

The 1994 Aldrich book notes the 1934 census did not record this issue. Scott Catalogue has listed it, unpriced, since at least 1940. They first assigned a price to it after its appearance in the 1991 Joyce sale.
