4c Pan-American, Center Inverted (296a). Unused (no gum), wide margins, radiant colors, two horizontal creases, tiny margin tear between two perfs EXTREMELY FINE APPEARING EXAMPLE OF THE 4-CENT PAN-AMERICAN INVERT. THE IDEAL STAMP FOR THE COLLECTOR WHO VALUES VISUAL BEAUTY OVER TECHNICAL SOUNDNESS. The 4c stamp portrays an electric automobile, known at the time as the “Electric Vehicle Service,” as depicted on the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad brochure from which the engraving was made. In the background one can see the dome of the Capitol. The two men depicted in the front seat are both chauffeurs. The man in the passenger compartment is Samuel P. Hege, so this stamp actually depicts a living person in violation of the law. The 4c Pan-American Invert was a special printing and not regularly issued. Examples were distributed through two official channels, and the gum on the majority of stamps without “Specimen” overprint was disturbed. In fact, because the stamps were removed from mounting paper, they are generally thinned or have seriously disturbed gum. Scott Catalogue notes that “Values are for examples with full original gum that is slightly disturbed”. There is no value given for a stamp with no gum Robert Siegel Auction Galleries, Apr 2014, Sale 1068, Lot 216 |
