Sale 1227, Lot 2479, Drs. Joanne and Edward Dauer Collection of Encased Postage (EP68/EP179)John W. Norris, Chicago, 3c Rose (EP137). Stamp slightly soiled, mica has small cracks and crazing at top and bottom, the case is essentially sound but has some wear marks

FINE. AN EXCEEDINGLY RARE 3-CENT ENCASEMENT ISSUED BY JOHN W. NORRIS.

This specimen was described in the Ford sale catalogue (Stack's 6/23/2004, lot 565) as "Choice Extremely Fine" and "Certainly one of the nicest known." We suppose this is true, considering there are fewer than five reported examples.

Ex Ford and "Summit"
