United States Proprietary Medicine Co., 1c Black on Orange Red Wrapper, Silk Paper (RS248b). Clear impression, deep paper shade, large even margins three sides to full at left, light creases and wrinkles, tiny thin spots and light soiling

FINE APPEARANCE. THE ONE-CENT UNITED STATES PROPRIETARY MEDICINE COMPANY ISSUE ON ORANGE RED SILK PAPER IS ONE OF THE RAREST OF ALL PRIVATE DIE MEDICINE STAMPS.

Only three are recorded in the Aldrich census, making this the rarest of the U.S. Proprietary Medicine Co. wrappers. Of the three, one is reported as sound, though with the nature of this paper we would be surprised if any are truly sound.

Ex Joyce, Tolman and "Scarsdale". With 2006 P.F. certificate
