1c Blue Green, Booklet Pane of Six (300b). Deep rich color and proof-like impression on bright paper, three clear strikes of oval registry cancel and one strike of double-circle datestamp, missing tab at topVERY FINE. A RARE USED BOOKLET PANE OF THE ONE-CENT 1902 ISSUE. VERY FEW ARE KNOWN.
Scott 300b was issued more than four years after the normal stamp was released, and was the first 1c booklet. The panes were printed from new plates. The earliest reported usage is March 6, 1907. The issue was replaced by the 1c Franklin booklet pane, Scott 331a (edu Dec. 1908). Very few intact panes were used due to the ready availability of 6c and other mid-denomination stamps. We have only seen two or three genuine used panes with the tab attached--most were removed prior to use.
