$750
Block of 4, imperforate vertically, figured as two pairs. Original
gum, previously hinged, few pulled paper fibers on reverse,
very fine appearance. Ex-Dr Spalding. Cat $1400.
$200
Very unusual top margin block of 4 that has a ‘dry print,’
making much of the image difficult to view. Notation in selvage
reads ‘RARE Dry plate 100 copies known,’ suggesting this
was from a full pane of freaks. More unusual, however, is the
fact the stamps appear to be adhered to tissue paper of some
sort. Very unusual freak, perforations a bit weak at top. Valued
as normal examples. Fine to very fine. Cat $700.
(498b) 1917 WASHINGTON 1¢ GREEN, BLOCK,
2 IMPERF BETWEEN PAIRS .................................... PH $2000
Horizontal strip of 3, imperforate vertically. Scott values a pair
at $700. Mint, hinge remnant causing tiny hinge thin at center,
large thin on right stamp per Weiss cert.
Error stamp with double perforations at left and right. Unused,
no gum. Tiny tear at top, still an amazing error! Fine. Catalog
value for regular stamp. Cat $950 for no gum.
1463 ( ) (73) 1863 JACKSON 2¢ BLACK, PRE-PRINTING
FOLD .......................................................................... PH
$500
Beautiful extremely fine block of 8, with center two pairs
imperforate between vertically. Stamps all have generous
margins and fresh appearance. Block previously hinged, bottom
pair lightly. Incredible showpiece. Datz and Scott values for
two single pairs. Error very rarely encountered this nice in large
multiples. (2000 PF Cert #0362817, 1989 PF Cert #0204633).
(Datz #15th edition $1150) Cat $1400.

DOUBLE PERFORATIONS ....................................... PH
(430) 1914 WASHINGTON 7¢ BLACK, BLOCK
W/ HUGE PREPRINTING CREASE .......................... PH
A DRAMATIC 3½mm diagonal pre-printing paper crease
affecting THREE stamps on block of 4. Crease remained closed
during printing, gumming and perforating, leaving ungummed
void and slightly crazy perfs. Very pretty freak! Stamps alone
