Position 1, misidentified as position 6, from Lot 10 Brattleboro, Vt., 5c Buff (5X1). The Lapham-Colson Complete Reconstructin of the Ten Plate Positions.

Very Fine; Position 3, margins all around, very large at top, tiny Red ms. cancel, Very Fine; Position 4, close on all sides, Blue Numeral "5" Cancel (unlisted); Position 5, Red ms. cancel, two thinnings, three large to huge margins, close at left; Position 6, margins all around, Red "P(aid)" cancel, Exceptionally Fine; Position 7, margins all around, very large at bottom, Red ms. cancel, Exceptionally Fine; Position 8, margins all around with Unique Full Bottom Imprint, Red ms. cancel, Exceptionally Fine; Position 9, margins all around, very large at bottom, Exceptionally Fine; Position 10, margins all around, Red ms. cancel, tiny thinning, A Fabulous and Unique Offering of the Utmost Rarity
Robert A Siegel Auction Galleries Inc. sale 660 lot 10 realized 57,500
Robert A Siegel sale 1255 (Gorham) lot 2 realized 16,000 where it is still incorrectly identified as position 6 (image)
I have no idea why the Robert Siegel firm identified this as position 6. Tthe most obvious difference between positions 1 and 6 is the lower swish under the signature. In position 1, it ends well below the period at the right (as here). In position 6 it ends horizonatlly even with the period and a few mm further to the right.
