3c Mt. Ranier, Vertical Pair, Imperforate Horizontally (742a). Mint N.H. strip of three, bright color, choice centeringEXTREMELY FINE. A RARE MINT NEVER-HINGED STRIP OF THREE OF THE 3-CENT MOUNT RANIER IMPERFORATE HORIZONTALLY.
Only one pane of 50 was discovered. We have offered only three other pairs and the unique plate block of six since keeping computerized records. All of these others were described as having natural gum creases and bends -- most are determined as coming from the bottom of the pane. The example offered here, with pristine gum, is the finest we have encountered.
Ex Floyd. With 1995 and 2010 P.F. certificates. Scott value as a pair with no premium for the extra stamp
