Sale 1235, Lot 1443, Air Post24c Carmine Rose & Blue, 1918 Air Post, High Flying Plane Variety (C3 var). Mint N.H., significant upward shift with the rear of the wing cutting well into the Carmine frame and "G" of "Postage" at top, wide margins

VERY FINE AND CHOICE. THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST PRONOUNCED "HIGH FLYING PLANE" UPWARD SHIFTS OF THE 24-CENT "JENNY" THAT WE HAVE EVER ENCOUNTERED.

While no official definition of this variety has been established, like the other shifts it should show a portion of the "Jenny" vignette cutting into the frame. This example is shifted higher than nearly any other we have encountered.

Ex Price. With 2000 P.F. certificate
