Sale 1224, Lot 256, Revenues$5.00 Green & Black on Violet Paper, Proprietary (RB10a). Rich colors and detailed impressions, unobtrusive manuscript cancel, few small toned spots, few short perfs at bottom left

VERY FINE APPEARANCE. AN ATTRACTIVE EXAMPLE OF THE $5.00 PROPRIETARY ON VIOLET PAPER.

Examples of the $5.00 Proprietary Issue almost invariably have faults, due to the stamp's large size and the nature of its use. The Kingsley book contains a table showing 2,109 stamps ordered and he records only 119 copies extant.

Pencil "Ackerman" on back.
