FRESH AND FINE. A RARE SOUND EXAMPLE OF THE BRATTLEBORO POSTMASTER'S PROVISIONAL.

The USPCS census records 55 examples of the Brattleboro Vt. Postmaster's Provisional (35 off cover and 20 stamps on 19 covers). Two of these are new additions of stamps which recently re-emerged after decades off the market and were offered in our 2021 Rarities sale. We can add two additional off-cover stamps to this count for a total of 57 known. Of these, many are faulty due to the softness of the paper.

Ex Wall. With 1975 P.F. certificate
