VERY FINE. A BEAUTIFUL AND RARE PRESENTATION ALBUM OF THE 1901 PAN-AMERICAN ISSUE LARGE DIE PROOFS.

Security printers' presentation albums were specially made for a variety of people, often potential customers or dignitaries. Most have been broken apart over the years for the value of the individual proofs. Intact albums are very rare.

Scott Retail for only the individual proofs
