228433

Scott #297 [1901 5c ultramarine and black Pan-American, Niagara Bridge] Mint hinged with F-VF++ centering. Natural top straight edge example clearly showing the horizontal guideline (cutting guideline) AND clearly showing a right-side guideline -- an INTERSECTION POSITION, from position 5 of the top row of the bottom pane. The Pan-American Exposition printer sheets and panes all had the same format: The printer sheets of 200 (10 x 20) were horizontally divided by cutting, along a horizontal guideline between the 10th and 11th rows, into upper and lower panes of 100. There are no corner straight edge positions for this issue, however there are corner (intersection) guideline positions. The printer sheet (and the panes) additionally had a vertical guideline between the 5th and 6th columns. 10 stamps of 200 had a natural straight edge at bottom (from the bottom row of the upper pane) and another 10 at top (from the top row of the lower pane). Many panes were cut with the horizontal guideline ending up entirely on one pane or the other, thus fewer stamps showing the horizontal guideline where produced than one might expect. Guideline-intersection examples, with the straight edge at top or bottom, are quite unusual, with each of the four possible intersection positions originally existing in only 1 out of 200 stamps. Both the horizontal and vertical guidelines terminated in the sheet margin with an arrow. Despite the respectively each 5% of production, examples with a bottom or top straight edge 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. This is a VERY SCARCE position, with only 1 of 200 stamps originally existing. (Scott 2025 $75 for the more common normal position -- this is tremendously scarcer.)

Scott #297 [1901 5c ultramarine and black Pan-American, Niagara Bridge] Used with VF-XF centering and strong NEW YORK "H" horizontal oval killer postmark. (I guess that is why they call it a killer.) Natural top straight edge example clearly showing the horizontal guideline (cutting guideline), from the top row of the bottom pane. The Pan-American Exposition printer sheets and panes all had the same format: The printer sheets of 200 (10 x 20) were horizontally divided by cutting, along a horizontal guideline between the 10th and 11th rows, into upper and lower panes of 100. There are no corner straight edge positions for this issue, however there are corner (intersection) guideline positions.

Both the horizontal and vertical guidelines terminated in the sheet margin with an arrow. Despite the respectively each 5% of production, examples with a bottom or top straight edge 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. This is a scarce position. (Scott 2025 $17 for the more common normal position.)

Scott #297 [1901 5c ultramarine and black Pan-American, Niagara Bridge] Used with F-VF centering. A neat railway duplex cancellation with the "RMS" [Railway Mail Service] killer fully showing. It is difficult to find unusual cancellation types on the 1901 Pan-American issue, thus any like this are sought after.

Scott #298 [1901 8c brown violet and black Pan-American, Canal Locks] Mint with XF or XF-Superb centering and unusually large margins. Original gum, but hinge remnant and album page adhesions. The front is wonderfully fresh looking with nearly perfect centering -- on the front this is certainly one of the nicest-looking examples I have had in 48 years. A great classic ships topical design showing four different types of ships! This centering is quite scarce as demonstrated by the high Scott graded values for XF and XF-Superb, but those cannot apply to a this stamp because of the gum condition. (Scott 2021 $90 for VF centering.)

Scott #298 [1901 8c brown violet and black Pan-American, Canal Locks] Mint, without gum, F-VF centered. A very interesting example with a network of horizontal pre-printing paper folds across the bottom (generally in the area of "POSTAGE EIGHT CENTS"). This type of variety is not often seen on the 1901 Pan-American stamps. No defects -- it is just lacking gum. A great classic ships topical design showing four different types of ships!
