Div. 11-16 1887" oval datestamp, New York registry label at left, folded for displayFRESH AND FINE. A SCARCE USAGE OF THE 90-CENT 1879 AMERICAN BANK NOTE COMPANY ISSUE. HIGHLY SUITABLE FOR DISPLAY.
Covers bearing the 90c stamps are scarce, particularly after the U.P.U. came into effect. We have only offered two full covers since keeping computerized records. Full covers tend to be very large and unwieldy. This front is very desirable, as it will actually fit on an exhibition or album page.
