Panama 1915-16, 1c, 2c, 5c & 10c pictorials, plate proofs on card (205P1//211P1/CZ 42-45), the four values that were overprinted for the Canal Zone, vertical pairs of the frames only, in deep green, and of the vignettes only, in black, plus a vertical pair of the 3c vignette. Fresh and Extremely Fine. A rare set of so-called "cancellation" proofs (Panama 205-206, 210-211TC).
Estimate 400 - 500

In 1933 the American Bank Note Co. received authorization to cancel most Panama stamp plates. Accordingly, one sheet was printed from each plate on hand, all in deep green. It is presumed that the plates were then either destroyed or defaced and put into permanent storage.
