Showpiece part sheet of 80 of the 1860 issue 1c red lilac "Locomotive" with numerous "American Bank Note Co. New-York" inscriptions in the selvedge. Mint no gum, as are most of the remaindered issues of New Brunswick (due to a fire in the office where the safe containing the sheets was located). The centering of all the stamps in the sheet qualify as VF-Superb and all the stamps are fresh and sound. A very scarce multiple of this popular pre-Confederation Classic and one of the earlist "Train" topicals known. Valued by Scott as 80 mint singles but worth a decent premium for centering and inscriptions. 2021 Scott US$3,400.00=
