Wide right plate no. 6193 and "TWENTY" block of eight, lightly hinged, rich color, well-proportioned margins, Pos. 1 with additional ink in left "20", Pos. 6 with unusual ink smear at bottom from adherence on the plate, purple post office mark in selvage, light natural gum bend at top right, bottom stamp natural gum crease

FINE-EXTREMELY FINE. AN EXTREMELY RARE AND DESIRABLE PLATE NUMBER AND "TWENTY" BLOCK OF EIGHT OF THE 209-CENT PARCEL POST ISSUE.

The Parcel Post issues were printed from plates of 180 which consisted of four panes of 45. According to Johl, the uniform color of the twelve denominations led to confusion on the part of postal clerks, who complained that they were forced to examine the stamps in detail to ensure they had the correct values. In response, on January 27, 1913 large capital letters were added to the margins near each plate number. At top and bottom the imprint is in the selvage next to the plate number, on the sides it is separated by a stamp with blank selvage, except in the case where the lettering is too long. We can tell that this came from the bottom right pane, because on that pane the letters precede rather than follow the plate number at the side. In the case of the 20c, the spacing of the letters stretches across three stamps and so the most desirable way to collect this with the imprint is as a block of eight. (Image)

VERY FINE APPEARANCE. AN IMPRESSIVE DOCUMENT CONTAING $1,500 IN REVENUE TAXES, AND ONE OF THE LARGEST FRANKINGS EXTANT OF THE $200.00 FIRST ISSUE REVENUE STAMP.

The Morris & Essex Railroad Co. (M&E) was incorporated in 1935 to build a line from Newark to Morristown N.J., which was later expanded. Other expansions, made M&E a serious competitor to the New Jersey Railroad (N.J.R.R.). In 1865, the Atlantic and Great Western Railway (A&GW) leased the M&E as part of their plan route to the west. The document offered here is this lease. Shortly after this lease was signed, the A&GW went bankrupt (in 1867) and the lease was cancelled. M&E continued to operate as a separate railroad until 1945, until after a series of mergers it became part of the Erie-Lackawanna Railroad.

The $200.00 First Issue Revenues were issued in sheets of eight. The payment on this document represents $20,400.00 in today's dollars, which is a hefty tax bill for a lease. According to http://thecurtiscollection.com , this is the largest recorded multiple on its original document. (Image)
