VERY FINE EXAMPLE OF THE 5-CENT BALTIMORE PROVISIONAL ENTIRE. A RARE COLOR COMBINATION WITH THE "JAMES M. BUCHANAN" STRAIGHTLINE STRUCK IN BLACK.
This entire is number 4 in the Hayes census. Only five are recorded in the Hayes census on buff entires with the signature in black. Another three or four of the Blue & Black combination are known on gray entires.
Ex Ferrary and Caspary. With 1989 P.F. certificate. The Scott U.S. Specialized mentions that entires with the black signature handstamp were issued first and "sell for more," but inexplicably this color combination is not given its own major listing. Scott Retail for more common blue signature handstamp (Image)

VERY FINE APPEARANCE. THIS IS THE EARLIEST DOCUMENTED USE OF THE 10-CENT RED PROVISIONAL ENTIRE ON MANILA, OF WHICH ONLY FIVE ARE RECORDED. A GREAT POSTMASTERS' PROVISIONAL RARITY.

VERY FINE APPEARANCE. ONE OF FIVE RECORDED EXAMPLES OF THE BRATTLEBORO PROVISIONAL STAMP WITH IMPRINT -- THE ONLY UNITED STATES POSTMASTER'S PROVISIONAL ISSUE WITH AN IMPRINT.
Only five of the 52 Brattleboro provisional stamps recorded by Wall (32 off cover and 20 stamps on 19 covers) are from Position 8, below which the imprint is engraved. Two of the five are off cover, and three are on covers (one of which is cut in at bottom).
Although faintly creased, this stamp is among the choicest Brattleboro provisionals. Only five off-cover Brattleboro stamps are sound, and many of the others are cut in or have serious faults. This is among the top tier of condition, and it has the added feature of an imprint.
Ex Wall. With 1984 P.F. certificate. (Image)
VERY FINE APPEARANCE. AN ATTRACTIVE EXAMPLE OF THE BRATTLEBORO PROVISIONAL WITH RED "PAID" CANCEL.

With 1985 P.F. certificate. (Image)
FINE APPEARANCE. THIS IS THE ONLY BRATTLEBORO FROM POSITION 7 KNOWN ON COVER, AND THE ONLY STAMP FROM THIS POSITION CANCELLED BY THE RED "PAID" HANDSTAMP.
