One of the very few genuine used copies not on a letter: This stamp has the same cancellation date as the letter which revealed to the collecting world that this stamp exists: 14 October 1920 - no earlier copy or letter known. Signed L.MIRO (= Léon-Pierre Margue) and Georges Behr (thanks for the info, Alain Millet!). (Klinger coll.)






6 in a row of 20,000 printed! (Treadwell coll.)

 

Margin pair of the 5c stamp: Note 1: With Martin's 6 in a row you would think that the paper is colored, but here you can see that the color is printed on the paper and doesn't reach the edge. Note 2: The second stamp shows the stereo plating variety "CONDC|NINIUM" (broken "O" and "M") of the 1910 overprint. (Ruecker coll.)

5c overprint shifted to the right and down. ("SeSi" coll.)
