Scott #219 Ultramarine [1890 1c blue / ultramarine Franklin] Mint, hinge remnant, with F-VF+ centering, but tiny thin speck. The ultramarine color, not the blue color. Scott does not "number" these colors, but the ultramarine really should have a number in my opinion; and they do in many other countries where there are such differences. Attractive at a very low price. (Scott 2022 $20.00.) ACTUAL item. |

Scott #219 Dark Blue [1890 1c blue / ultramarine Franklin] Mint with Fine centering, but one darkened perf at top and one shorter perf at lower left. The blue color -- a very dark blue in this case -- not the ultramarine color. Scott does not "number" these colors, but the ultramarine really should have a number in my opinion; and they do in many other countries where there are such differences. (Scott 2022 $20.00.) ACTUAL item. |

Scott #220 "Carmine Lake" [1890 2c carmine Washington] Mint, regummed, with VF centering. An interesting looking stamp. The "lake-like" color of this example is quite distinctive, but it is much lighter than the #219D lake color. It could be that some aspect of the regumming process caused a color change, or perhaps this is just a lake-like dark carmine example. Regardless, it looks unusual! Even though regummed, nice-looking mint examples of this workhorse stamp, especially interesting color shades, can be hard to find. ACTUAL item. |

Scott #220 Carmine Rose on Bright White Paper [1890 2c carmine Washington] Mint, moderately hinged, with F-VF centering, but creased (hard to see from the front). Looks great! This "carmine rose" color, is listed by Scott, but in my experience mint examples are harder to find than some other colors. Nice-looking mint examples of this workhorse stamp, especially interesting color shades, can be hard to find. ACTUAL item. |

Scott #222 Dark Brown [1890 4c brown Lincoln] NEVER HINGED with Fine centering, but with crease (looks very nice from the front). Left straight edge example from the left column of the right pane. The First Bureau Issue ("Without Triangles"): The 3c-90c stamps were printed in sheets of 200 (20 X 10). The sheets had full outer margins; they were then divided by cutting vertically into panes of 100. Straight edge positions only exist on the left and right. 5% of the stamps had a straight edge on the left and 5% had a straight edge on the right. Apparently (I only sure of the 4c stamp), there were marginal arrows at the top and bottom of the sheet where the sheets were cut apart to make panes. Apparently there were no guidelines (other than the points of the arrows). Straight edge examples are now quite hard to find because most were used for postage rather than going into collections; and of those that remained, in the last 50 years many have been reperforated to remove the straight edge. I think that collecting the guideline and straight edge positions is quite challenging and rewarding. (Scott 2025 values are $80 for a normal hinged example and $250 for a normal NH example.)
