Approximately 20% of original gum disturbed by previous hinging. Sound, fault-free example of this iconic Newfoundland airmail stamp. The following information on this stamp is from the Newfoundland Specialized Stamp Catalogue by Walsh and Butt: "In November 1921 Newfoundland had the opportunity to have mail delivered from Botwood to Canada, United States, Great Britain and European countries by airplane. The airplane would leave from Botwood, Newfoundland and go to Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. Mail would be accepted at St. John’s General Post Office up to evening of November 26, 1921. The gathered mail was then to be sent to Botwood by train express on November 27. Maximum quantity able to be handled would be 5000 one ounce letters. Major Cotton was the pilot for this flight. A special stamp that costs 35¢ will be affixed to each letter presentation after 09:00 on November 16. The stamp chosen to be overprinted was the 35¢ Cabot issue of 1897 that had an iceberg image. The initial order was for 5000 overprinted stamps. These stamps were brought into use November 16 and were affixed by St. John’s G.P.O postal clerks. Due to public demand another order of 9000 was printed. The layout was a 5 x 5 pane of 25. As has been recorded and documented the overprint type had six varieties of the overprint. The Newfoundland Specialized Stamp Catalogue (NSSC) labels them as: AIR MAIL to Halifax, N.S. 1921 AM4 wide 2.5 mm Air Mail spacing with no stop after 1921 AM4a stop after 1921 (this stamp) AM4b no stop after 1921 and 1 of 19 under f of Halifax AM4c narrow 1.5 mm Air Mail spacing with no stop after 1921 AM4d stop after 1921 AM4e no stop after 1921 and 1 of 19 under f of Halifax Images should provide all the information necessary to make a reasonably intelligent bid on this lot.
