1c Blue, Ty. IV (9). Positions 6-8/16-18R1L, unused (no gum) block of six, 6-7R recut once at bottom, 8R recut twice at bottom, bottom row recut once at top and bottom, Position 7R1L is the recut version of Type I on Plate 1 Early (Scott 5) and in this state still shows much of the bottom right plume, large margins including part of top sheet margin, deep shade, bright and fresh, vertical crease along left side, a few small stain spots on back EXTREMELY FINE APPEARANCE. A MAGNIFICENT UNUSED BLOCK OF THE ONE-CENT 1851 ISSUE FROM PLATE ONE EARLY, CONTAINING POSITION 7R, WHICH IN ITS EARLIER STATE FURNISHED THE ONLY TYPE I IMPERFORATE ONE-CENT STAMP. This block was originally joined with the block of Positions 4-5/14-15R1L offered in the preceding lot. The top row of Plate 1 Late was, with the exception of Position 4R1L, recut and transformed into Type IV’s. However, the top row right pane positions still retained many of their fascinating features from Plate 1 Early. Among these is Position 7R, which on the early state of the plate produced the only imperforate Type I, Scott No. 5. On Plate 1 Late, most of 7R’s unique characteristics are still present: the design is complete at top and still shows the distinctive double transfer at top right, it is almost complete at bottom with only a small part of the balls erased, and the plumes are essentially intact, especially on early printings.
