90c Carmine, 11 x 14 Point Essay Grill, Points Up (unlisted 144-E). Strongly impressed grill, without gum, bright shade which is closer to Continental than National, narrow width and side perfs are slightly off gauge, but we think this is due to paper shrinkage, not reperfing, Fine, extremely rare and possibly unique, believed to originate from Charles F.
