Rare desirable and cute., The following collections had no 4d covers, Hind, Dale-Lichtenstein, R Gill, Odenweller, Slade-Slade, Consul Weinburger. Covers were found in Caspary (1), Chartwell (1), Burrus (1), Sato, the ultimate (23) (SG 6),
This cover we believe to be Plate I due to the very early date and impression plus it is the only cover known tied by a circular date stamp and there are only 3 older covers. Pages from the "Sato" auction accompany. (Image)
