difficult type, showing virtually complete plumes and scrolls at bottom, deep characteristic plate 12 color, full o.g., lightly hinged, just the faintest trace of a thin speck in one corner, otherwise extremely fine; ex-Ishikawa. (Image) |

#19, 1c Blue, Ty. Ia, a fresh and sound example of this classic rarity, centered just to left but not objectionably so, wonderfully centered top to bottom
allowing the all important Ty. Ia design characteristics to show perfectly, rich color and a crisp impression on bright paper, very light strike of a red carrier cancellation, fine; a highly collectible example of a stamp that is missing in
even the most advanced collections; 1991 PF certificate. (Image) |

#19b, 1c Blue, Ty. Ic, extraordinary centering, deep intense color and a highly detailed early impression on immaculate white paper, light c.d.s. cancels, extremely
fine; there is some controversy over what Type to attribute this stamp, the accompanying PF certificate identifies it as Scott #19b (Type Ic), "probably from Position 89R4", however this stamp was sent to the PSE, where is was plated as position
87L4, which may be a Type II or Type IIIa - see article in the current SMQ for more analysis (PSE certificate does not accompany the lot); whatever the type, it is a most attractive example; 1997 PF certificate as noted above. (Image) |

#19b, 22, 1c Blue, Ty. Ic, vertical pair, the bottom pair in a very rare combination vertical strip of three with Ty. III at top, positions 71/ 81/ 91R4, a
marvelous left sheet margin strip (showing 3mm of the sheet margin), the top stamp being Ty. III, while the center and bottom stamp are the very scarce Ty. Ic, and the bottom stamp (position 96R4) is the best position found on the sheet displaying
this distinctive type, gloriously deep color and prooflike impressions, very light and unobtrusive strikes of blue town postmarks, negligible small flaws, still quite fine; it is thought that this may be the only known multiple containing
Ty. Ic stamps, only these two positions on the sheet can produce a Ty. Ic vertical pair; clear 1966 PF certificate; ex-Ishikawa. (Image) |

#21, 1c Blue, Ty. III, a highly select used example of this perennially difficult and truly rare stamp, possessing outstanding centering, especially when one
considers how tightly spaced these stamps are on the plate, its color is exceptionally rich, while its impression is quite sharp showing the characteristic breaks in both the top and bottom labels, face-free blue cancel confined to the bottom
left, extremely fine; a frustratingly difficult stamp to find this choice used; ex-Zoellner. (Image) |
