EXTREMELY FINE. A BEAUTIFUL EXAMPLE OF THE SCHAPKER & BUSSING ONE-CENT ENCASED POSTAGE STAMP. VERY FEW ARE KNOWN.

Schapker & Bussing was one of two firms in Evansville, Indiana, that ordered encased postage from Gault. The partnership between Bernard Schapker and John W. Bussing, both German immigrants and employees of Samuel Embich & Co., was started in 1860. Their business was located on Main Street near the Ohio River. The firm prospered until the Panic of 1873 caused its failure.

The Reed book rates the 1c Schapker & Bussing encasement as R-9 (2-4 known), and both the Ford and Mayer catalogues estimate the number known at less than five. The Ford collection contained two other examples.
