Lot Symbol CatNo. Lot Description CV or Estimate
1301 O RS174jc image#RS174jc, Mansfield, S. & Co., 1c Blue, pink paper, block of four imperforate between, an incredibly choice example of the scarcest of these varieties, wonderfully fresh and fully sound, deep blue color on bright pink paper, and well centered besides, with full even perforations all around, very fine and a premium copy of this popular variety. (Image) 450.00

SOLD for $425.00
Closing..Mar-08, 09:00 AM
1302 O RS175a image#RS175a, Marsden, T.W., 2c Blue, one of the best centered examples of this major medicine stamp rarity, of which less than ten examples are recorded, and this was the sole example offered in the Morton Dean Joyce sale in 1991, nearly all examples are faulty to some degree, this has a small repair in the top right corner and thin spots which do not detract from the very fine appearance of this very elusive stamp; ex-Joyce. (Image) 6,000.00

SOLD for $8,000.00
Closing..Mar-08, 09:00 AM
1303 O RS176a image#RS176a, Marsden, T.W., 4c Black, fresh and reasonably well centered for a stamp that rarely comes with good centering, deep color and strong impression, couple of trivial pinhead thin specks which may well be natural on this thin old paper, very fine for this. (Image) 425.00

SOLD for $500.00
Closing..Mar-08, 09:00 AM
1304 O RS177a image#RS177a, Mercado & Seully, 2c Black, imperforate, certainly one the largest margined and most attractive of the handful of copies still in existence, this is truly impressive with four very large even margins, most examples are close or cutting on one or more sides, in addition it possesses deep color and freshness that are lacking on most examples, usual thin spots and tiny closed edge tear (virtually all, if not all, known copies are faulty), which do not detract from the extremely fine appearance that is unequaled in this rare issue. (Image) 5,500.00

SOLD for $4,250.00
Closing..Mar-08, 09:00 AM
1305 O RS179c image#RS179c, Merchant's Gargling Oil, 2c Green, pink paper, attractive appearing example of a stamp that is far scarcer than its modest catalog value suggests (15-20 recorded), perforations are full and even, and clear all around for this notoriously poorly centered issue, small thins, very fine appearance. (Image) 325.00

SOLD for $300.00
Closing..Mar-08, 09:00 AM
1306 O RS180d image#RS180d, Mette & Kanne, 3c Black, watermarked, a phenomenally high quality example of a "long" stamp that usually has faults, this stamp being completely sound and fresh, but most impressive is the fact that it is virtually perfectly centered within margins that are much larger than are found on most examples, even in the famous Joyce sale there was no example that could compare in centering or attractiveness (including within a block of nine), extremely fine gem; it is our opinion that this is the finest example available of this issue. (Image) 300.00

SOLD for $725.00
Closing..Mar-08, 09:00 AM
1307 og RS180d image#RS180d, Mette & Kanne, 3c Black, watermarked, a fresh and attractive mint single, full o.g., h.r., a sound stamp (tiny inclusion) that has attractive centering, excellent color and impression, very fine. (Image) for used 300.00

SOLD for $270.00
Closing..Mar-08, 09:00 AM
1308 og RS181d image#RS181d, Mishier Herb Bitters Co., 4c Black, watermarked, an usually well centered mint example, exceptionally sharp impression, tiny natural wrinkle, otherwise choice very fine and scarce in this premium quality. (Image) for used 125.00

SOLD for $200.00
Closing..Mar-08, 09:00 AM
1309 og RS186a image#RS186a, Moreheads, 4c Black, a choice and premium quality mint example of this rare medicine stamp, exceptionally fresh with full o.g. that is lightly hinged, lacking any of the faults that the majority of this issue have, well centered, deep color and sharp impression are among the features that for its overall condition makes this one of the finest examples of the approximately twelve known copies. (Image) for used 1,250.00

SOLD for $2,300.00
Closing..Mar-08, 09:00 AM
1310 O RS188a image#RS188a, Perl, Dr. M. & Co., 6c Black, an unusually fresh and attractive appearing example of this very scarce stamp, cut to shape as always, particularly intense color and sharp impression, thins and light crease which nearly all of the twenty or so recorded examples have simply by the nature of their use, very fine appearance. (Image) 1,100.00

SOLD for $1,200.00
Closing..Mar-08, 09:00 AM
1311 O RS191a image#RS191a, Pieters, Bennett & Co., 4c Black, unusually well centered single, being far better than the majority of existing copies, fresh with sharp impression, small thin spots as is usual, very fine appearance. (Image) 350.00

SOLD for $525.00
Closing..Mar-08, 09:00 AM
1312 O RS192a image#RS192a, Pieters, Bennett & Co., 6c Black, far better centering than any of the surviving examples we are aware of, strong color, some thin spots (virtually every known example has faults), still very fine and believed to be the finest quality example of this rarity available; ex-Lilly and Donaldson. (Image) 1,250.00

SOLD for $1,800.00
Closing..Mar-08, 09:00 AM
1313 og RS199b image#RS199b, Ring's Vegetable Ambrosia, 2c Blue, silk paper, imperforate, a stunningly impressive bottom margin mint example of a rare stamp, it is believed that there are only about fifteen examples known mint or used, margins are large on the other three sides in addition to the huge sheet margin, fresh and particularly strong deep color, sound in all respects with o.g., h.r., certainly among the finest, if not the finest, example available, extremely fine gem. (Image) for used 2,750.00

SOLD for $2,000.00
Closing..Mar-08, 09:00 AM
1314 O RS199b image#RS199b, Ring's Vegetable Ambrosia, 2c Blue, silk paper, imperforate, another gem single with large margins on all four sides, this stamp is noteworthy for its especially pretty color with attractive plate wash giving the paper a lovely bluish cast, small natural inclusion, extremely fine example of a rare imperforate. (Image) 2,750.00

SOLD for $1,800.00
Closing..Mar-08, 09:00 AM
1315 og RS203b image#RS203b, Ring's Vegetable Ambrosia, 4c Black, silk paper, perforated, an exceedingly scarce and high quality mint single, this stamp is particularly uncommon in that it is well centered within large margins, nearly all of the perforated issues have the perforations impinging into the design on one side, while this one is well clear all around, it also has intense color and impression, o.g., h.r., extremely fine and the best quality example of this stamp that we have seen mint or used of the less than twenty examples yet surviving; a great rarity, particularly mint; 1994 PF certificate. (Image) for used 1,000.00

SOLD for $1,700.00
Closing..Mar-08, 09:00 AM
1316 og RS203pb image#RS203pb, Ring's Vegetable Ambrosia, 4c Black, silk paper, part perforate, a select mint single, large part o.g. with some gum loss from hinge removal, remarkably well centered, a fresh example with bright paper and clear sharp impression, this variety is considerably scarcer than the fully perforated variety, particularly so mint and fully sound, this was the best of two singles offered in the Joyce sale realizing $1,700.00 plus the 10% buyer's premium, extremely fine; ex-Joyce. (Image) for used 1,600.00

SOLD for $2,200.00
Closing..Mar-08, 09:00 AM
1317 O RS210b image#RS210b, Scheetz's Celebrated Bitter Cordial, 4c Black, silk paper, perforated, a remarkably attractive and well centered example, possessing an intense impression on fresh bright paper, completely sound and extremely fine for this. (Image) 450.00

SOLD for $600.00
Closing..Mar-08, 09:00 AM
1318 og RS212pd image#RS212pd, Schenck's Mandrake Pills, 1c Green, watermarked, perforated, a fresh and well centered mint example, o.g., lightly hinged, completely sound and in premium condition with large to extremely large margins, the top perf. tips showing the frame of the next stamp at top, extremely fine; we are a bit puzzled as to how to guage the rarity of this in a perforated state, while Scott lists it, it is unpriced and we have not been able to find any other example of it which implies that it is of considerable rarity. (Image) Est. 400-500

SOLD for $1,100.00
Closing..Mar-08, 09:00 AM
1319 O RS213d image#RS213d, Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup, 6c Black, watermarked, imperforate, pristine single, with large well balanced margins on all four sides, prooflike impression and completely sound in all respects, extremely fine gem. (Image) 145.00

SOLD for $450.00
Closing..Mar-08, 09:00 AM
1320 O RS218d image#RS218d, Seabury and Johnson, 1c Lake, watermarked, a fabulously well centered example of this rare stamp, strong rich color, normal ms. stroke through "Porous", faint vertical crease, extremely fine appearance; this was the best example of two offered in the stellar Morton Dean Joyce sale where it was described with a pulled perf. at top, in fact this perforation was just laid over on the perforation next to it and while the flaw is still there it improves immensely the appearance of a stamp that was already the finest appearing example of the approximately dozen copies known; exceptionally rare and choice; ex-Joyce. (Image) 1,750.00

SOLD for $3,500.00
Closing..Mar-08, 09:00 AM
