Has Scott Assigned A Value To This S/S?

This is Central African Republic, Scott 594B, a G. Daimler, 1900 Merceds 35CV. Scott lists it, but in my catalog never assigned it a value. Did they ever give it a value after 2005?

I don't know the answer modern but I love that sheet.

I can't quite read it. Who are the people?

In Scott's 2010, 594B has a value of $10 MNH, $6 used.

I think the guy on the right is Daimler, and the woman on the right is Benz's daughter, Mercedes, after whom the Mercedes Benz was named.

I think one possible reason for not listing is the doubt that the issue had postal validity -- Central African Republic is one of those countries that had spurious issues, and maybe the editors were still questioning the legitimacy of the stamp and sheet.

If they have priced it, it would seem that they have finally made up their minds.

Thanks, everyone, and page_fault for the direct info.

The stamp on this sheet is in brilliant gold, and the tiny lettering on the sheet
is printed in silver. In all, not well taken by the scanner.

The people on it are Mercedes Jellinek, no doubt the car's namesake, and
Emile Jellinek, probably her father.

Hm. Now I have to wiki Emile Jellinek and see what it was he did...

Emil Jellinek, known after 1903 as Emil Jellinek-Mercedes (6 April 1853 – 21 January 1918) was a wealthy European entrepreneur who sat on the board of Daimler-Motoren-Gesellschaft ('DMG') between 1900 and 1909. He specified an engine designed there by Wilhelm Maybach for the first 'modern' car. Jellinek required naming the engine after his daughter[1], Mercedes Jellinek. The Mercedes 35hp model later contributed to the brand name developed in 1926, Mercedes-Benz, when DMG and Benz & Cie. merged into what is now among the largest car brands in the world. Jellinek lived in Vienna, Austria but later moved to Nice on the French Riviera, where he was the General Consul to Austria-Hungary.

Okay, now I know "the rest of the story"...interesting that it was the engine that was named after her first.

With women, it's always the engine! (Whatever that means.)

Thanks WpgLwr, for the rest of the story.
