5c Orange Brown, Double Transfer Ty. C (1b-C). Horizontal pair, the left stamp with clear double transfer of the bottom frameline and the lower part of the left frameline, full margins, vivid color, blue Philadelphia circular datestamp cancel, right stamp with faint pressed crease VERY FINE APPEARANCE. AN EXCEPTIONALLY RARE HORIZONTAL PAIR WITH THE LEFT STAMP SHOWING THE TYPE C DOUBLE TRANSFER. ONLY TWO PAIRS ARE RECORDED. In the August 1995 Chronicle, Jerome S. Wagshal summarized previous articles on this double transfer. It was first discovered by Dan Hammatt around 1920. Mr. Wagshal recorded a total of 13-1/2 copies (one is a half-stamp in a strip), including only two pairs. He also echoes Ashbrook’s theory that this and the Double Transfer Type D were created when the plate was reworked sometime in late 1850 and were only part of the Fifth Delivery from RWH&E in December 1850. This would account for their scarcity compared to the Type A and B double transfers, and it seems to be confirmed by the two examples known on cover, which were described by Ashbrook as 1851 uses. The distinctive Orange Brown shade also points to the Fifth Delivery. Ex Caspary, Rust, Stollnitz and Dr. Morris. With 1996 P.F. certificate.
