LONG ISLAND 1916 SG12var Mint

Stock Code: P201015396

1916 (7 May) 1d mauve, typewritten (carbon) on thin horizontally laid, red ink initials, left marginal, showing the very prominent typing variety "G.R.I. raised", fresh unused (unobtrusive horizontal bends). One of only six possible thus, the variety having occurred at plate "2", pos. 5 and 9, and plate "3" pos. 5, this example being from that third position. [Total production of the 1d mauve was 440 stamps, with two sheets each coming from plates 1 to 11, but 129 were destroyed. Gibbs recorded 148 unused, but that figure includes three sheets of 20, and a further 46 in multiples, which will surely always remain intact.]
