VERY FINE. A BEAUTIFUL SET OF LARGE DIE PROOFS FOR THE 1893 COLUMBIAN EXPOSITION ISSUE.
This is one of the freshest sets we have encountered, with no hybrids. Some sets also have either interleaving or trace of binding from presentation albums. This set, with wide cards for each, is truly a condition rarity. (Image)
FRESH AND VERY FINE. A BEAUTIFUL COMPLETE SET OF THE 1893 COLUMBIAN SMALL DIE PROOFS ON WOVE.
It is believed only 85 sets were produced for the Roosevelt presentation albums. (Image)
VERY FINE-EXTREMELY FINE. AN EXCEEDINGLY RARE COMPLETE SET OF THE COLUMBAIN ISSUE PLATE PROOFS ON INDIA PAPER. THESE ARE FAR SCARCER THAN THEIR COUNTERPARTS PRINTED ON CARD.
Given the numbers we have seen come up at auction, the plate proofs on India are extremely scarce and undervalued. (Image)
VERY FINE. THIS PAIR OF PRESENTATION PAGES WITH EACH PROOF SHOWING SIGNATURES OF THE ENGRAVERS IS REPORTEDLY UNIQUE. A MAGNIFICENT EXHIBITION ITEM.

VERY FINE-EXTREMELY FINE. A GORGEOUS SET OF BLOCKS OF FOUR OF THE COLUMBIAN ISSUE PLATE PROOFS ON CARD.
Even though the plate proofs on card are seen more frequently than those on India, multiples such as this set should be considered rare. Our computerized records show we have only offered two other sets in all of our Rarities sales and in our auctions of the past 13 years. (Image)
EXTREMELY FINE GEMS. AN INCOMPARABLE COMPLETE SET OF MATCHED BOTTOM IMPRINT AND PLATE NO. BLOCKS OF EIGHT OF THE COLUMBIAN ISSUE PLATE PROOFS ON CARD. A MAGNIFICENT SHOWPIECE, AND A HIGHLIGHT OF ANY COLUMBIAN ISSUE OR PROOF COLLECTION.
We are unaware of any other set such as the one offered here. The $1.00 is unpriced in Scott as a plate block of eight. Scott Retail with the $1.00 catalogued as two blocks of four (Image)
VERY FINE. AN EXCEEDINGLY RARE COMPLETE SET OF THE 1893 COLUMBIAN ISSUE WITH SPECIMEN OVERPRINT TYPE E. EASILY ONE OF THE FINEST OF THE FEW COMPLETE SETS IN EXISTENCE.
Accompanied by original sale envelope with printed "United States Postage Stamps, Issue 1893, Columbians" which also has the "Specimen" overprint. $5.00 with 1975 P.F. certificate. (Image)
