1933, Ty. A Surcharge on $6.00 Orange on Blue, -1/2bbl., Beer (REA166a; Priester 194D). Priester Type 223 surcharge, rich color, "P.F.B. Co., 12*6*33" perforated cancel, some faults including trimmed at top where margin added (easily removed)

FINE APPEARANCE. THIS IS ONE OF ONLY TWO RECORDED EXAMPLES OF THE TYPE A SURCHARGE. IT IS ALSO THE EARLIEST REPORTED USE OF ANY STAMP FROM THE 1933 SURCHARGE SERIES WITH THE TYPE A SURCHARGE. A GREAT RARITY.

The other recorded example was offered in our 2006 Tolman sale, but it has a different type of surcharge which is unlisted in Priester.

Ex Ward, Tolman and "Scarsdale". With 2012 P.F. certificate
