Sale 1217, Lot 1346, Postal Stationery2c Green on Blue, Die 87, Cut Square (U308; UPSS 920). Unused, 32 x 38mm, rich color, two light creases

VERY FINE APPEARANCE. THIS IS ONE OF ONLY TWO UNUSED EXAMPLES OF THE DIE 87 2-CENT GREEN ON BLUE ISSUE -- BOTH CUT SQUARES. NO UNUSED ENTIRES ARE KNOWN. A GREAT RARITY OF POSTAL STATIONERY COLLECTING.

The 2012 UPSS catalogue reports no unused entires and two used entires. Porter Venn records two unused cut squares -- the example offered here and the example that is ex Floyd and "Saddleback" and was last offered in our 2013 sale of the "Scarsdale" Collection. There are also two used cut squares recorded.

With 2000 P.F. certificate
