FINE APPEARING AND EXTREMELY RARE COVER BEARING THE ONE-CENT ATTLEBORO PRIVATE VENDING MACHINE COIL.

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, especially on cover or wrapper.
