THIS STAMP IS THE DISCOVERY COPY OF T15c Orange, I. Grill (141 var). Well-defined I Grill points from the early state of the grilling device, brilliant color, neat strike of segmented cork cancel, tiny corner perf crease at bottom right

FINE. THIS STAMP IS THE DISCOVERY COPY OF THE 15-CENT I GRILL, WHICH IS ONE OF THE RAREST OF ALL UNITED STATES STAMPS. ONLY TEN USED AND TWO UNUSED EXAMPLES HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED. THIS RARITY DESERVES MAJOR CATALOGUE LISTING STATUS.

At least two sizes of grills were used by the National Bank Note Company for the 1870 Issue. The I Grill measures from 9-11 points wide by 10-13 points tall. The I Grill is currently recorded on all values except the 12c, 24c and 30c (there are unconfirmed reports of the I Grill on the 12c and 24c). The 1c thru 7c values make up most of the population of I Grill stamps. The 10c, 15c and 90c I Grills are extremely rare, and it is only in recent years that their existence was reported by Ronald Burns.

With 1955 and 2008 P.F. certificates and accompanied by 1953 note from Stanley Gibbons where purchased by the current owner. Small backstamp. (Image)
