18 [1875 5 penni 4-Numeral, Perf 11] Bright Yellow-Orange. Used F-VF with neat blue "...URENG..." straight-line railway station cancellation. This general type of cancellation is quite scarce on the 1875 4-Numeral issues and I am not aware of any listing or cataloging of them on the 1875 stamps. I have not been able to identify this one; it is likely a tiny rural station far from any post office. As an added bonus, the top three right-side perf holes are blind (did not get punched out); not often encountered on this stamp. A very unusual example! |

21b Dark Prussian Blue (Facit #16SC1a) [1875 20 penni 4-Numeral, Perf 11] The Prussian Blue printing, the first printing of the 20 penni, exists in a range of color intensity. The handbook on the 1875 issues (by Heikki Reinikainen, Jussi Murtosaari, and Jeffrey Stone) supplies a color intensity range for stamps of this printing of "3-7" on a 1-10 scale. This example is at or very near the most intense / darkest end of that range. Such examples are quite hard to find. Used F-VF+ with a light, but readable railway (train 11) cancellation clearly dated 17 December 1875 dated . Very attractive; a great example of this color, with a confirming early postmark and in overall excellent quality. |
