VERY FINE APPEARING EXAMPLE OF THE ONE-CENT WILMINGTON PARLOR MATCH CO. ISSUE ON SILK PAPER. THIS MAY WELL BE THE FINEST EXAMPLE IN EXISTENCE.
For many years this was thought to be unique. There are now 8 examples recorded in the Aldrich book, of which 6 are faulty. The Joyce sale contained only one with similar centering and with a thin spot and perfs scissors-trimmed at bottom left (it was described as the finest recorded example). This is the first example we have offered since keeping computerized records. (Image)
VERY FINE AND CHOICE. CERTAINLY ONE OF THE FINEST EXAMPLES OF THE ONE-CENT GREEN ZISEMANN, GRIESHEIM & CO. MATCH ISSUES IN EXISTENCE.
The Aldrich book records only 19 examples of this rarity. Of these only 6 are sound. He notes that many examples are stained and faded and that fresh examples (such as the one offered here) are truly rare. The single Joyce copy had a very noticeable short perf at left. (Image)
