AN ATTRACTIVE EXAMPLE OF THE UNIQUE JAYNE & SON 4¢ ORANGE PERFORATED AND DIE CUT VARIETY ON OLD PAPER.

The Joyce collection included one example of this stamp in imperforate format, which realized $7,000 hammer. In our Jonathan Bulkley Collection sale in 2012, the die cut example brought $16,000 hammer (sale 48, lot 394). It is interesting to note that both the red and orange color varieties of the Jayne & Son 4¢ issues on old paper, have a green offset on reverse in the shade that is similar to the green used on all other Jayne & Son 4¢ issues.

Realized: $9,000
