IN OUR OPINION THIS IS THE FINEST UNITED STATES PATENT ENVELOPE IN EXISTENCE, WHICH WE SOLD IN OUR WASHINGTON 2006 SALE FOR $14,000 HAMMER.
In 1856, Robert T. Knight patented his Safety Envelope which retained the main features of the old folded letter and added an additional clamping feature. This was designed not only to prevent tampering with the envelope, but after opening it held both enclosure and envelope together for filing. A group of these letters then could be bound together like a book for storage. Like the Leeds and Franklin patent envelopes, this idea never caught the imagination of the public.

AN EXTREMELY FINE APPEARING EXAMPLE OF THE 1851 1¢ TYPE III IMPERFORATE FROM THE THE POSITION BEARING THE FINEST EXAMPLE OF THIS TYPE - POSITION 99R2.
The 99R2 was a fresh entry over an original entry on the plate (portions of which can be seen in the right scrolls), which was short transferred at both the top and bottom. Because of this very short transfer at top and bottom of the design, it produced the widest breaks in the top and bottom outer lines, giving us the finest example of type III. US$0 (Image)
