Sale 1289, Lot 681, Washington-Franklin and Other Issues, including Upright Jenny1c-5c Huguenot-Walloon, Large Die Proofs on India (614P1-616P1). On approximately 203 x 154 mm cards with full die sinkage, each signed by Postmaster General Harry S. New, with printed "Approved April 14 1924", blue control numbers on back, bright colors, for strict accuracy we will note 1c card with tiny bend at right, 2c India paper with slight wrinkling, and 5c card with slight toning at far top (and cut slightly irregularly), these imperfections are unimportant considering how infrequently full-size large die proofs of this set are offered

VERY FINE COMPLETE SET OF THE HUGUENOT-WALLOON ISSUE LARGE DIE PROOFS, SIGNED BY POSTMASTER GENERAL HARRY S. NEW.

Scott value as unsigned proofs.
