1877 Five Cent “Buffalo Balloon” Air Post Semi-Official

An Extremely Rare Se-Tenant Pair

368

368 (�) #CL1a, 5c Deep blue “Buffalo Balloon”, tete-beche pair, an extremely rare unusedexample of this pair, without gum as is often the case with these stamps, extraordinarilywell margined, with huge balanced margins all around, there are just a couple of trivialfacial rubs and light wrinkling between the pair in the margin only, these small flaws arequite trivial considering not only the extreme rarity of the pair, but the majority of thefew other surviving tete-beche pairs have faults much more severe than the pair offeredhere, extremely fine appearance; of particular interest is the wide variance of colorbetween each stamp in the pair, with one having a light “milky” blue shade, while theother is a deep blue shade.

These fascinating “Buffalo Balloon” stamps were intended for use on a balloon flight fromNashville to Gallatin, Tennessee, which took place on June 18, 1877. It is believed that only300 stamps were printed, of which only 23 were used. We believe that only twelve to fifteentete-beche pairs still exist today, of which most have been certified by the PhilatelicFoundation. Nearly all existing examples have small faults and/or are without gum, sug-gesting that the original sheets may have been stacked and exposed to moisture prior to theirsale; ex-Cunliffe.

One of Only Two Examples in Private Hands

782

782 � #78a, 1901 1p Black on red, Ty. II, Value Omitted, incomparable mint example ofthis tremendously rare stamp, being a highly desirable right gutter margin single, wellcentered, strong color, just the slightest trace of lettering (“NY” of “PENNY”) as on allknown examples, o g., lightly hinged, very fine.

Accompanying this example is the original typed letter from Bright and Son of London datedMay 6, 1902 which reads “We hear from a correspondent that a number of unused 1d stampswas issued from your Post Office with the value omitted. We are desirous of securing some ofthese...” and go on to offer £2 each. This garnered a handwritten response saying “Only 7 weresold, four (4) of which were posted on letters and they were thoroughly inked over by the Postalauthorities. Consequently were of no use, S.G. Lewis Postmaster”. To date, none of the usedcopies mentioned here have surfaced.

A sensational example of this British Commonwealth rarity and arguably the finest knownwith this being one of the mere two examples available to collectors, the other was inthe Sir John Marriott Collection and one other example in the Royal Collection; 1986RPS certificate; ex-Ramkissoon (S.G. #127a; £32,000). 36,000.00

The Schiller United States Postal Stationery DatabaseNot only has Marvin Schiller assembled one of the finest postal stationery collections to date, he has nearly outdone himself in being the creator of this immensely helpful database software. Sure to attract interest from both serious and novice stationerycollectors, his program enables the user to easily keep computerized records of their collection – a major step for philately in the 21st century.There is a sense of ease one finds moments after downloading this software and testing out all the different functions it has to offer.This program is astutely created with attention to detail created by a collector, for a collector. Being as well thought up as it is, itencompasses all aspects of collecting stationery needed. Its user-friendly capabilities allow you to mold the software to your collectionand acts as a visual database filled with vital information. One can easily tell the many years of hard work, time and effort whichhave been dedicated to this project for the benefit of his collecting peers. Some of the key features:

Based on the Scott Specialized Catalogue of United States Stamps & Covers: user has access to a reference list of alllisted items.

Reference List: each listed example organized by Scott # and with pre-scanned examplesfrom Schiller’s collection (which can easily be changed with example from users collection).

Newly listed material: Software easily allows you to add newly listed items to the system.

My Collection: Ability to add and list examples from your personal collection.

Detailed Notations: Allows the user to keep track of vital information in dozens of different fields including essential information (i.e. UPSS #, paper, die, knife, wmk., etc.), cost,where bought from, and provenance among many other things.

Color Coding: System ingeniously placed to assist user in differentiating between personal collection and reference list.

Selling: The software also allows those who are part-time dealers orjust collector’s getting rid of their duplicates to create a “Sell List”which highlights your profit and loss and creates a sheet of items you have for sale.

Search Capabilities: One of the most useful aspects of this software is the search capabilities. With the advanced search, any field

you enter can be easily found.

Additional Features:Paper Colors: One of the toughest aspects of collecting stationery are the paper color variations. Differences between the likesof cream and oriental buff for example can often leave both the novice and advanced collector dazed and confused. This softwarecomes complete with a color comparison chart.

Address Book: Never forget a fellow collector or dealer again with this useful tool which allows you to list all your peers, contacts, dealers, etc.

System Requirements: PC Windows XP or later, Mac OS X 10.4.11 or higher

This software, within the first day of use, will essentially pay for itself. The intuitive logic associated with its design and ease of navigation makes this an asset for any postal stationery collector – be it if you collect cut squares or entires. Being comprehensivewhile still flexible, it will act as an essential tool for you to build a collection which you can be proud to call your own.

This is the debut of this software database with the price set at $25.00 postpaid. Offered exclusively through Spink ShrevesGalleries. Order your copy today by contacting us at (972) 788-2100.
