    Description

    Scott #409 Variety
    ,
    Block of 4
    , “
    Printer’s Waste
    ”, 2c (Washington), Flat Plate, Imperforate, SL Watermark (
    Reversed
    ), Type I, Issued 1912,
    Hinge Remnant (previously hinged)/Never Hinged, Original Gum
    .
    Top two stamps with hinge remnant;
    bottom two stamps never hinged
    , exceptionally fresh,
    XF
    and
    sound in all respects
    .  Fabulous and striking appearance!  A nice EFO/wonderful item for the EFO specialist, W/F specialist or general collector if you’re considering joining this area of interest.  The gum is 100% original and without gum breaker ridges so most certainly the flat plate versus rotary press issue
    AND
    it prominently displays the
    single line watermark
    (which is
    reversed
    BTW, so an added bonus for the EFO collector)!  There are other examples of printer’s waste that exist (I have handled two with old PF Certificates) in the rotary press issues (they look like flat plate) and I’ve seen a few on ebay and private net lists.  Any way you look at it this is a “must have” IMHO for any serious specialist in this collecting area and
    undoubtedly scarce
    .
