EXTREMELY FINE. ONE OF THE MOST OUTSTANDING EXAMPLES OF ANY MISPLACED TRANSFER VARIETY. THIS COVER WAS HIGHLY REGARDED BY THE LATE EDWARD S. KNAPP AND HAS NOT BEEN AVAILABLE TO COLLECTORS SINCE 1928.

The two stamps in this pair come from the 9th and 10th positions of the top row of Stone 2. However, the right impression (in Position 10) comes from the transfer copied from Position 35, which was used to replace the original entry on the printing stone after it was damaged during production. The space on the stone was not thoroughly cleaned, leaving vestiges of the original Position 10 entry in the bottom left margin, which are visible in this pair. For comparison, the cover is accompanied by a 5c Blue, Stone 2 (4) strip of three showing the normal Positions 8-9-10 and a single from the normal Position 35. Also included in the lot is a 5c Olive Green from Position 20 that shows the traces of the removed transfer in the top margin, indicating it comes from a sheet containing the Position 35 misplaced transfer.
