Sale 1179, Lot 2698, Revenues: Second and Third Issues$200.00 Red, Blue & Black, Second Issue, "Small Persian Rug" (R132). Bright colors, well-centered with perfs clear of design all around, neat May 14, 1871 manuscript cancel

VERY FINE AND CHOICE 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, most examples have faults to varying degrees. This is a desirable sound example and one of only 446 issued.

From our 1992 Rarities sale. With 1990 P.F. certificate
