Scott numbers have been given for these listings. If you would prefer to examine the stamps before purchasing, or you are seeking stamps (or condition or quality) not listed here, you are also welcome to send your want list using Scott, Facit, or AFA numbers.
The images shown in this section are standard images of the issues from my image library; they are presented to show the designs of the stamp issues and not to show the specific individual stamps being offered. The centering of the stamps in the images is usually Superb or VF quality; again these are not images of the individual stamps being offered. Most DWI stamps had between two and eight printings, thus colors vary greatly; the colors in the images are random printings/colors.
All the listed conditions and qualities were in stock at the moment this list was prepared and I endeavor to maintain them in stock and to keep this website updated. However, my stock changes daily and (to paraphrase) good stamps are hard to find. If you are willing to accept a different grade or quality if an item is temporarily out of stock, please let me know when ordering (add a comment at the conclusion of the shopping cart process) and please also let me know of any alternates you will consider.
18, Facit #16a Yellow-Brown and Greenish Blue [1901 4 Cent Bicolor, Perf 12.75, Normal Frame] Used with XF centering and neat, proper corner cancellation. Unusually deep color and overall terrific appearance.

18, Facit 16a, Yellow-Brown and Greenish Blue [1901 4 Cent Bicolor, Perf 12.75, Normal Frame] Used with F-VF+ centering and remarkably light, neat corner cancellation. Perfect perforations and very bright color. While "only" F-VF+ centered, stamps of this issue are rarely seen with neat and light cancellations (corner cancellations were NOT the norm and were actually contrary to regulations).

18 [1901 4 cent Bicolor, Perforation 12.75] Used with VF centering and excellent appearance, but with a tiny thin speck. Neat 4-ring cancellation leaving most of the blue center oval "face free". Otherwise $17.50 for this centering.

18, Facit #16b, AFA #7B.4 Brownish Yellow and Clear Blue [1901 4 Cent Bicolor, Perf 12.75, Normal Frame, 1902 second printing of this perforation] Used with F-VF++ centering and nearly full, but very light CHRISTIA(NSTED) cancellation. Wonderfully fresh and bright; one of the strongest and cleanest-color clear blue examples that I have seen in a long time. This is the scarcer of the two printings of this perforation (in both Mint and Used) and such nice examples are hard to find.

18a, Clear-Blue Printing [1901 4 Cent Perf 12.75 Bicolor] VF centered BISECT (lower left corner) on full cover with ST. THOMAS 27 April 1903 cancellation, used locally. Very decorative addressing in attractive RED ink. This is fairly late usage; though valid from 20 January through 23 May, most uses are in January or February. Very fresh and attractive.
18a, scarcer Green-Blue Printing [1901 4 Cent Perf 12.75 Bicolor] Average centered BISECT (upper left corner) on full cover with ST. THOMAS 24 January 1903 cancel (fifth day of use), used locally. Though the stamp is not well centered, every other aspect is excellent.

18b INVERTED FRAME, Facit #16bv2, AFA 2016 Specialized #7By Print 4, Positions 91-100, Brownish Yellow and Clear Blue [1901 4 Cent Bicolor, Perf 12.75, Inverted Frame, the 1902 second printing of this perforation] Used with Fine centering and neat cancellation. An attractive example with excellent perforations and clearly visible inverted frame. THIS stamp is from the second of the two printings of the Perf 12.75 4-cent stamps (the 4th overall printing of all the 4 cent Bicolors, counting both perforations). Inverted frame stamps exist from both of the Perf 12.75 printings. In the first Perf 12.75 printing, the inverted frame exists ONLY from position 51 and has visible characteristics (in addition to color) that separate it from the position 51 inverted frame stamps that exist in the second Perf 12.75 printing (clear blue center color). THIS STAMP with inverted frame is from the latter printing, from sheet positions 91-100, those being the more "common" (but still quite hard to find) 4 cent inverted frames (and correspond to what Scott lists as #18b). The Facit 2022 value is SEK 1200 for Used. A nice example of a stamp missing from most collections.

20 [1901 10 cent Bicolor, Perf 12.75] Mint, extremely lightly hinged, with XF centering. The hinging is so light that the previous owner (a philatelic professional) thought it was NH! Wonderfully fresh with perfect perforations and bright colors. Hard to find with such nice centering. A key stamp missing from most collections.

20 Plate Variety [1901 10 cent Bicolor, Perf 12.75] Mint, extremely lightly hinged, with F-VF+ centering (which most people might call VF). Catalog-listed PLATE VARIETY AFA #11Bv and Facit #18v16 (+ SEK 350): White line extending to the right from the base of E of VEST. Though it does not change the financial value, this also has a WATERMARK VARIETY; the crown watermark is evenly split with 50% of the watermark to the left and to the right. Wonderfully fresh with perfect perforations and bright colors. Such nice examples are hard to find. A key stamp, even without the variety, that is missing from most collections.
