1c Blue Green, Booklet Pane of Six (300b). Deep rich color and proof-like impression on bright paper, three clear strikes of Cambridge Station double oval cancel and one strike of double-circle datestamp, missing tab at top

VERY FINE. A RARE USED BOOKLET PANE OF THE ONE-CENT 1902 ISSUE. VERY FEW ARE KNOWN.

The normal 1c stamp of the 1902 series (Scott 300) was issued in early 1903. However, the booklets were not issued until March 6, 1907. Little interest in them was shown by collectors at the time. This was the first 1c booklet pane issued by the U.S and it was quickly superseded by the 1c 1908 series booklet, Scott 331a, in December of 1908.

Our census of Scott 300b in used condition is available at our website at http://siegelauctions.com/dynamic/census/300b/300b.pdf and includes only three intact panes with tabs plus three others without tab (including the example offered here and one on cover).

Census No. 300b-CAN-05. With 2001 P.F. certificate
