VERY FINE. A UNIQUE ESSAY FOR THE 5-CENT JAMESTOWN ISSUE.

The 1907 Jamestown issue is extremely rare in essay-proof form -- particularly in essay form. Scott lists only two for the 1c, none for the 2c and four for the 5c (each different, all are in this sale). This 5c vignette-only essay is incomplete in several areas of the design.

Ex Finkelburg, "Lake Shore" and Livingston. Illustrated in Scott Catalogue.
