Sale 1185, Lot 113, Hawaii, PhilippinesPHILIPPINES, 1939, 2c Rose, Booklet Pane of Six, Bottom Left Stamp "Wealth Common-" (433b). Two intact panes originating from the same booklet, with original interleaving and covers, small rust spots near staple holes as usual

FRESH AND FINE. TWO RARE MINT NEVER-HINGED BOOKLET PANES CONTAINING THE "WEALTH COMMON-" BOOKLET ERROR, WITH ORIGINAL INTERLEAVING AND BOOKLET COVERS. A GREAT RARITY.

It has been quoted in the past that only 24 panes were printed. We believe the number to be slightly higher, based on the observed population (we are aware of five complete booklets and a handful of single panes). Two complete booklets were found in an original package of normal panes (ex Diamond). Several others were closely held for decades by a second-generation stamp dealer; we have been assured that this lot and the booklet offered in the previous lot are the last of that group.
