ONE OF THE MOST RECOGNIZED AND DESIRABLE OF ALL POSTAL STATIONERY RARITIES.
The 1876 Centennial Exhibition envelopes were the inaugural commemorative envelopes ever issued. Crafted from a
single master die, two working dies emerged: one featuring a single line under "Postage" (Die 71, known as the Hartford Die) and the other a double line (Die 72, referred to as the Philadelphia Die). Die 72 includes two sub-types, and the red
printing (Type 2) is regarded as one of the major rarities in postal stationery collecting. (Image1)
