During May, 1874, and probably spread over a period into early 1875, the Morgan Envelope Co., acting under orders of the Post Office Department, produced a number of proofs on a variety of differently colored card stock, all without watermark. These were produced with the regular 36-subject plate forms and usually in the normal color ink. It is, however, generally believed that the card stock used would have been much smaller, resulting in a printing using only a portion of the printing form. (Image1)		 USPCC $1,500

A REMARKABLE MODEL ESSAY BY MORGAN ENVELOPE CO. FOR THE 1875 POSTAL CARD ISSUE.

The Morgan Envelope Co. contract of May 1, 1873 did not expire until June 30, 1877. But early in 1875, Geo. N. Tyner, U. S. Postal Card Agent at Springfield, Mass. (where the Morgan Envelope Co. was situated) notified his superiors in the Post Office Department at Washington that the dies making up the two 36-subject plate forms were becoming badly worn and needed replacement. This presented a problem, since the master die and transfer roll had been produced by and were still in the possession of, the National Bank Note Co. They were not willing to hand over the dies as they were unhappy with losing the contract to print postage stamps. (Image1)		 USPCC $4,500
