Attleboro Stamp Co., 2c Alaska-Yukon (371). Guide line strip of four, full original gum, bright color, the delicate vending perforations sensibly reinforced

VERY FINE. AN EXCEEDINGLY RARE GUIDE LINE STRIP OF FOUR OF THE 2-CENT ALASKA-YUKON ISSUE WITH ATTLEBORO PRIVATE VENDING MACHINE PERFORATIONS. ONE OF THE GREAT RARITIES OF PRIVATE VENDING MACHINE COLLECTING.

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.
