 2c Lake, Panama-Pacific, "Gatun Locks" Error, Small Die Proof on India (398-E3b var). Full Margins, Fresh, two tiny thins The 2c Panama-Pacific stamp design was based on a model chosen by the Bureau of Engraving
and Printing's director. He first rejected a photograph sent from the Panama Canal. Instead, a scaled model on display at the War Department was photographed and used as the basis for the engraving. What the Bureau did not realize until after the
stamps had been printed was that the image was incorrectly identified as the Gatun Locks. In fact, the scene was of the Pedro Miguel Locks. Realizing its mistake prior to releasing the finished stamps, the Bureau destroyed all copies of the Gatun
Locks error and re-engraved the die to read "Panama Canal." The stamps were printed from new plates, and the only tangible evidence of the Bureau's error to reach the public was the die proofs reading "Gatun Locks." Only two proofs are generally
thought to exist. Brazer states that only one small die proof impression is in public hands. The Scott Catalogue identifies this small die proof as being printed on wove paper, however, if the example offered here is the basis of the Scott listing,
then it is unquestionably on India paper. There is also the possibility that two small die proofs exist on different papers. Very Fine Appearance. An Extremely Rare and Fascinating United States Error, Which Only Exists in Proof State. An Important
Item for The Proof Specialist or Error Collector (Image Magnifier)Search for comparables |
