Sale 1285, Lot 2276, Telegraph StampsCity & Suburban Telegraph Co., 1c-3c Black, Se-Tenant Strip (6T1-6T3). Strip of all three values, without gum as issued, full margins to barely in at right, 3c thin and vertical crease between 1c and 2c

FINE-VERY FINE. A RARE SE-TENANT STRIP OF ALL THREE VALUES OF THE CITY & SUBURBAN TELEGRAPH COMPANY ISSUE.

The rows of the New York City & Suburban issue comprise six stamps in 2c-1c-1c-1c-2c-3c denominations. This rare multiple comes from the right three positions in the row of six stamps -- the only positions that can yield a se-tenant multiple of all three denominations. The small faults on this strip are normal for the soft wove paper used for this issue.
