Brattleboro, Vermont, 5c Black on Buff (5X1). Position 5, large margins all around, deep shade, neat strike of red "PAID" handstamp, vertical crease at left

VERY FINE APPEARING EXAMPLE OF THE BRATTLEBORO POSTMASTER'S PROVISIONAL STAMP.

The USPCS census records 55 examples of the Brattleboro Vt. Postmaster's Provisional (35 off cover and 20 stamps on 19 covers). Two of these are new additions of stamps which recently re-emerged after decades off the market and were offered in our 2021 Rarities sale. We can add the two additional off-cover stamps offered here and in lot 2 to this count, for a total of 57 known. Of these, many are faulty due to the softness of the paper.
