1933, $5.00 Handstamped Provisional Surcharge on -1/4bbl. Green, Beer (REA173a; Priester 202D). Priester Type 240 surcharge, large margins, rich color, "K & SBG Co. 6-22-34" perforated cancel, lightly stained

VERY FINE. THE TYPE D SURCHARGE IS UNLISTED IN PRIESTER ON THE 1933 SECOND ISSUE QUARTER-BARREL. A PHENOMENAL RARITY WHICH IS LIKELY UNIQUE.

For the 1933 Second Issue horizontal format stamps, only the quarter-barrel and half-barrel are known with surcharges. The other four denominations of the set were never surcharged. The half-barrel is listed with Types B, C and D surcharges. The quarter-barrel is listed with only Types B and C surcharges. The Priester Type D surcharge offered here is only listed as existing on the Half-Barrel Brown Orange. The existence of this stamp proves that both denominations should be listed with all three surcharge types.

Ex Tolman and "Scarsdale". With 2006 P.F. certificate.
