Sale 1258, Lot 3058, Essays and Proofs: Small Die Proofs, Scott RW1-RW251934-58 Hunting Permits, Small Die Proofs on Wove (RW1P2-RW25P2). Complete set of all 25 Scott-listed Federal Hunting Permit small die proofs on wove, offered together as a single lot, each approximately 51 x 36mm, absolutely gorgeous colors throughout, exceptional condition with only one proof with a minor wrinkle (RW11P2)

EXTREMELY FINE GROUP. AN EXCEEDINGLY RARE OPPORTUNITY TO ACQUIRE A COMPLETE SET OF THE 1934-58 FEDERAL HUNTING PERMIT ISSUES, SMALL DIE PROOFS ON WOVE.

The Federal Hunting Permit small die proofs on wove are listed in Scott for the 1934 thru 1958 Issues (RW1P2-RW25P2). It is believed that only one to three of each exist and a group was part of the Jeanette Rudy collection, which was gifted to the National Postal Museum. Therefore, it would be extremely difficult to duplicate this set.

Each proof accompanied by a beautiful full-page colored remarque by famed wildlife artist Ron Jenkins (the artist for the 1965 issue, RW32), with central mounts for the proofs (see the linked PDFs after each of the following single-proof lots). Each with 2008 P.F. certificate.
