New York N.Y., 5c Black, Without Signature (9X1e). Unused (no gum), huge margins to clear including left sheet margin, crisp impression

VERY FINE. A DESIRABLE SOUND UNUSED EXAMPLE OF THE NEW YORK POSTMASTER'S PROVISIONAL WITHOUT SIGNATURE.

We have offered only one with original gum since keeping computerized records (realized $22,000 hammer in our 2012 Frelinghuysen sale). The example offered here, with four margins and in sound condition, is a great rarity.

With 1991 P.F. certificate
