Large margins to just in at lower left, rich colors, "M NUNAN 4.25.09" perforated cancel from this San Francisco brewery, few creases, tiny tear at bottom left, small surface scuff at left, otherwise Fine, only 16 are recorded in the Priester census but it is likely scarcer than that -- the example we offered in our Tolman sale turned out to be the more common Dark Blue paper so the stamp offered here is the only example we have offered since keeping computerized records -- ex "Scarsdale", with 2012 P.F. certificate
