Item Description
Condition: fresh pair of canal zone related perfin precursor stamps from the panama railway commissary (prc)with the original 'prr' perfin with the large 'p' that was subsequently used for the canal zone official 'p' perfins, flanked by 2 small 'r's...From the plass book (please copy of page reference shown for your study, that these 'prr' perfins were aborted just after production was begun as the prc was granted franking ability just around the same time...A classic perfin discussed in the plass book and highly sought after by advanced students in this field...Clearly the cornerstone of any world class exhibit or collection in this specialized area...The 1st time on the market to my knowledge since the salz sale where a 1 cent 'prr' stamp was reported in the lot but not pictured and this was not featured for the importance of this find (no report of a 2 cent stamp in the lot, or a used stamp in the lot)...Condition statement for the stamps: scott #405-mint/og/nh but with typical tropical gum for era and minimal toning that does not detract...The #406 is sound and used but with evidence of hinging on the front as this was exhibited for the back side...
I have added a nice selection of many stamps to my store. I fondly remember going to stamp shows as a child, enjoying going through counter books where i could pick out the 'ideal' stamp for me. The days where local stamp shows would allow this experience are few and far between. I have attempted to re-create this by listing selected stock which you can pick from. I am an aps dealer member and i will be my pleasure to make the buying experience as easy as possible. Feel free to contact me at if you have any questions or if there are item(s) that you are looking for. Stock code: cz-prr perfins
