5c Chocolate, Vertical Pair, Imperforate Horizontally (255c). Top margin strip of three, unused (no gum), nicely centered, some slight soiling in selvage and middle stamp light wrinkle visible when drying

VERY FINE EXAMPLE OF THE 1894 5-CENT UNWATERMARKED BUREAU ISSUE IMPERFORATE HORIZONTALLY.

It is believed that most examples of this error originate from a part sheet purchased by a collector at the Richmond Va. post office. Most tend to be off center.

Scott Retail for a pair without premium for the third stamp
