France Scott #63a 80c Carmine Rose, Perforated (1872 issue) F-VF stamp with neat and well-struck 1876 "ST. TH(OMAS) / PAQ. FR. ([B, C, or D])" OCTAGON ship mail cancellation used at St. Thomas (not yet listed in Scott Classic). Wonderful color and fresh appearance and unusually nicely-struck cancellation. I cannot recall the last time I had a single-stamp example of one of the 1870s French stamps used at DWI. (The DAKA 1997 DWI Catalog priced this at DKK 800, 26 years ago. However, the catalog editor was known for putting low prices on items such as this that he was interested in buying. This is much less often seen than such a price suggests.) |

United States, New York: "PAQUE(BOT) / (...) DIV" nicely struck New York incoming ship mail 2-line cancellation which was used on uncanceled mail, presumably mailed on board ship. On Scott #18b [1901 4 cent Bicolor, Perf 12.75, INVERTED FRAME] with F-VF centering and three huge margins. 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 -- and "rare" on this INVERTED FRAME stamp. The basic used stamp with a normal cancellation would sell quickly for $110. |
