Auction History
Auction House Name Sale Date Sale Number Lot Number Price Realized Lot Description
J. & H. Stolow Inc. Oct 29-31, Nov 1-2, 1984   185 $800 #356. Paste-up pair, hinge remnant. O.g., ave-fine. Est: $2850.00 (Note: this pair was uncertified at the time of the sale)

At this time I have to beg to differ with the PF opinion - I think it is a genuine paste-up pair.  This pair was given a good APEX certificate just after it was sold in the Stowlow Auction.  I don't know if the PF was aware of the APEX certificate when they gave this stamp a bad opinion.  This pair also shows up in a U.S.S.S. article penned by W. Wallace Cleland (Specialist #665, Volume: 56, Number: 7, Year: 1985, Page: 303 - 305)

As always comments and suggestions are always welcome.
