Sale 1227, Lot 3333, 1909 Bluish Paper Issue, 1909 Commemoratives (Scott 357-373)8c Olive Green, Bluish (363). Lightly hinged, rich color on nicely blued paper, wide margins

VERY FINE. A FRESH AND SOUND ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE RARE 8-CENT BLUISH PAPER.

The June 1910 Third Assistant Postmaster General’s report states that 4,000 (ten sheets) of the 8c were printed on Bluish Paper. It is believed that none of the 4c and 8c Bluish Paper stamps were distributed to post offices, and that all of the examples in collectors’ hands reached the market through the Travers-Steinmetz exchange and the 1914 National Museum trades to H. F. Colman (12 copies) and Nassau Stamp Company (65 copies).

Ex Wingate. With 1990 P.S.E. and 2003 P.F. certificates
