E. W. Hoyt & Co., 4c Black, USIR Watermark, Imperforate (RT10d). Large margins all around, sharp impression, two creases that the accompanying certificate notes are "small and light"

EXTREMELY FINE. AN ESPECIALLY DESIRABLE EXAMPLE OF THE E. W. HOYT & CO. 4-CENT IMPERFORATE ISSUE ON WATERMARKED PAPER. ONE OF THE FINEST AVAILABLE.

This is the finest example we have offered at auction. Every previously offered copy also has creases -- usually more severe than on this example. This stamp possesses the largest and most balanced margins of any we have sold. The Aldrich census records 18 and notes 11 with faults (though the number of faulty is almost certainly higher).

With 2020 P.F. certificate.
