FINE APPEARANCE. A RARE EXAMPLE OF THE 4-CENT BLUE KERR ISSUE ON OLD PAPER. ONE OF THE RAREST OF ALL MEDICINE STAMPS.

Only 7 are recorded in the Aldrich census. Of these only 3 are reported as sound. The Joyce sale contained an example with repaired tears which realized $5,500 in 1991 against the then-current catalogue value of $3,000. This is the first example we have offered since keeping computerized records. (Image)
