Description: 20L14 Boyd's City Express, Type IX Forgery A by Scott. Lyons CV $20.00. S. Allan Taylor was most famous of all the forgers of US carrier and local stamps. He also started the first philatelic publication in North America. He made imitations and fantasy creations of stamps that he had seen or heard about and sold them in packets to collectors. Stamp collecting was new and catalogs did not provide pictures, only descriptions. Some Taylor forgeries are remarkably similar to the authentic stamps. Visit www.pennypost.org to learn more about this area of collecting. You will be able to find these stamps in the Taylor forms section of Online Reference Collection. Forgeries/reprints of carriers and locals are old, many made in the 1860's and saved before stamp hinges were invented. Small faults should be expected. Larger faults are described, and my scans are high definition and should reveal most faults, if any. Please contact me if further information is wanted. I guarantee these items. They can be returned, but I must be contacted within 7 days of receipt if you are not satisfied. I combine purchases to save on shipping; purchases of $20 or more will be sent in a stiff mailer with tracking for an additional cost. Please wait for my invoice to receive combined shipping when purchasing more than one item. Books and publications will ship by media mail according to weight.
