$200.00 Red, Blue & Black, Second Issue, "Small Persian Rug" (R132). Bright colors, outstanding margins and centering, neat "Jany. 29, 1871" manuscript cancel, tiny natural inclusion in neck

EXTREMELY FINE GEM. A SUPERB EXAMPLE OF ONE OF THE MOST COLORFUL STAMPS IN UNITED STATES PHILATELY.

Both the Small and Large "Persian Rug" stamps were printed in sheets of one. Because of their size, the large number of perforations on each stamp, and the fact that they were used on documents which were frequently folded across the stamps, sound examples of the multicolored "Persian Rug" issues are extremely rare.

Ex Weill. With 1989 P.F. certificate
