Postage Currency Set of Four Notes with Very Coarse Perforations. Another fantastic set of First Issue perforated notes. Complete 5¢, 10¢, 25¢, and 50¢ Denomination Set. The first two with 'ABC' monogram and the last two without. The perforations are wider and coarser than on the issued perforated notes. Not in Milton. Not seen at public auction since the February, 1914 Price Sale by Henry Chapman (lot 218, envelope enclosed). Very distinctive and perhaps unique. It is difficult to ascertain if this is an essay set, experimental or from the workshop of a ''concoction'' artist. The envelope has penned notations that imply on one side ''Official'' and on the other ''Stated at the sale as 'false'. '' Fascinating no matter what the origin. Extremely Fine to Crisp Uncirculated. Some handling on a few. 4 pieces.
Ex F.C.C. Boyd Estate; Price and Dreer Sale (Henry Chapman, February 14, 1914, lot 218).
