A recent (1980s) engraved faked progressive essay of the 20c "Harvester" stamp from the 1928-1929 GeoV Scroll series. The Montreal based individual who produced this particular piece was quite prolific and created numerous different ersatz stamp essays and proofs ranging from early Pence items up through issues from the 1930s. Many unsuspecting collectors purchased (and still purchase) these well executed but none-the-less fantasy items as genuine progressive proofs or essays. The lot also includes a genuine stamp (mint Hinged). A great reference lot. Estimate
