18, Facit 16a, Yellow-Brown and Greenish Blue [1901 4 Cent Bicolor, Perf 12.75, Normal Frame] Used horizontal PAIR with VF centering (right stamp with rounded corner perf) and nearly complete CHRISTIANSTED 6 July 1905 cancellation. On small piece with left stamp "marked off" by red crayon. This type of marking-off is usually seen when an invalid stamp has been used (such as an obsolete / demonetized stamp, foreign stamp, charity label, or a re-used stamp). In this case, the stamps were valid postage -- I can only guess that the marked-off stamp was considered excess (overpaid) and the postal clerk was "preserving" it for future use by marking it off. I do not recall previously seeing this type of situation from DWI or any country [I welcome further information]. Very attractive and interesting! |

18, Facit 16a, Yellow-Brown and Greenish Blue [1901 4 Cent Bicolor, Perf 12.75, Normal Frame] Used with F-VF+ centering and remarkably light, neat corner cancellation. Perfect perforations and very bright color. While "only" F-VF+ centered, stamps of this issue are rarely seen with neat and light cancellations (corner cancellations were NOT the norm and were actually contrary to regulations). |

United States, New York: "PAQU(EBOT) / N.Y. (... DIV)" nicely struck New York incoming ship mail 2-line cancellation which was used on uncanceled mail, presumably mailed on board ship. On Scott #18 Clear Blue Printing [1901 4 cent Bicolor, Perf 12.75, Normal Frame] with VF+ centering and bright color. This example is the Second (Perf 12.75) Printing with Clear Blue center color. When complete (it cannot fit on a single stamp) this cancellation is in the 2-line format "PAQUEBOT / (N.Y. 2D DIV.)" with the "2D" being other possible numbers and letters. This cancellation is usually only seen on stamps in the 1900-1910 era. Attractive and scarce. |

18, Facit #16b, AFA #7B.4 Brownish Yellow and Clear Blue [1901 4 Cent Bicolor, Perf 12.75, Normal Frame, 1902 second printing of this perforation] Used with F-VF++ centering and nearly full, but very light CHRISTIA(NSTED) cancellation. Wonderfully fresh and bright; one of the strongest and cleanest-color clear blue examples that I have seen in a long time. This is the scarcer of the two printings of this perforation (in both Mint and Used) and such nice examples are hard to find. |
