3c Deep Purplish Claret, Type II (11A var). Full to ample margins all around, exceptional depth of color in this scarce sub-shade, tied by bold and perfect strike of "Orrville Ohio Apr. 25" circular datestamp on lady's small embossed-border cover to Salem O., Extremely Fine, wonderful quality, with 2001 P.F. certificate as "Deep Purplish Claret" -- whatever it is called, in our opinion it is a true and beautiful shade variety, which is very scarce
