2c Alaska-Yukon, Attleboro Stamp Co. Private Perforations (371). Horizontal pair, original gum, lightly hinged, fresh color

FINE-VERY FINE. AN EXTREMELY RARE PAIR OF THE 2-CENT ALASKA-YUKON ISSUE WITH ATTLEBORO PERFORATIONS.

In 1909 the Attleboro Stamp Company employed a stamp-affixing machine to apply postage to bulk mailings of its price lists and editions of the Attleboro Philatelist. Although the company served stamp collectors, the Attleboro coil appears to have been a purely utilitarian product, limited in its scope to the basic 1c and 2c stamps necessary for mailing and not intended to create new varieties for collectors. Examples of these coils are scarce to rare, with the pair of Scott 344 priced at $45,000.00 in Scott, among the highest values of all 20th century varieties.
