 1c Indigo, "First Design" (55). Well-centered with perfs just touching at top as almost always, Intense Shade, Full Original Gum, Approximately 1/4 of Target Cancel at Upper Left Comer, Fine. With 1943
A.P.S. Certificate describing cancel as "experimental", while the 1992 P.F. Certificate states it is "not an experimental cancellation." However, the contemporary style and ink of the cancel, the manner in which it is struck across the comer, and the
presence of full original gum, seem to strongly indicate that this trial printing stamp was "cancelled" at an experimental stage. If not experimental, then what? An Intriguing Example of This Very Rare Trial Printing, Scott Retail for Uncancelled
