CANAL ZONE, 1926, 12c Violet Brown, "Zone Zone" (88a). Position 18 in right selvage block of twelve, slightly tropicalized original gum, rich color and detailed impression, trivial crease in top selvage only

VERY FINE. ONLY FOUR EXAMPLES ARE KNOWN OF THE 12-CENT "ZONE ZONE" VARIETY. ONE OF THE GREAT RARITIES OF CANAL ZONE.

According to Canal Zone Stamps, this error comes only from Position 18 on the lower right pane of the plate. Four panes were sold before the remaining 246 lower right panes on hand were officially destroyed, on Oct. 15, 1926. One pane is still intact (ex Tows and Grebian).

With 1967 P.F. certificate. Scott value as singles
