Sale 1227, Lot 2440, Drs. Joanne and Edward Dauer Collection of Encased Postage (EP1/EP58A)F. Buhl & Co., Detroit, 24c Red Lilac (EP43). Stamp well-positioned in the encasement, unusually fresh color in a rich Red Lilac shade, some wrinkles and mica faults including an arc-shaped shallow crack, the case is in excellent condition with only a few minute rim dents

VERY FINE. AN ENORMOUSLY RARE 24-CENT ENCASED POSTAGE STAMP FROM BUHL AND COMPANY.

The Ford collection lacked a 24c Buhl, and the introductory note to the Buhl entries in the sale catalogue (Stack's 6/23/2004) alluded to a sole 24c with stamp substitution. The Reed census reports seven known, but this figure seems far too high. This example, which has been certified genuine by both ANACS and The Philatelic Foundation, is one of the great rarities of encased postage.

Ex "Summit". With 1984 ANACS and 1992 P.F. certificates
