The Dr. William A. Litle Collection of United States Encased Postage continued...

George W. White
Lot Sym. Lot Description  
285   ImageWhite, Hatter, New York N.Y., 1c Blue (EP178). Stamp with pretty color, case a lovely honey brown with trace of original silvering around a few letters, mica with trivial lamination when viewed in cross-lighting

VERY FINE. A BEAUTIFUL EXAMPLE OF THE WHITE THE HATTER ONE-CENT ENCASED POSTAGE ISSUE.

George W. White started in business before 1850, making hats, muffs and other fur clothing products. He moved to 216 Broadway in 1855, his store being located on the ground floor of the building that housed P. T. Barnum's American Museum (the building burned down in 1865). White's encasements give the address as "Under Barnum’s Museum" (the address shows a correction from "261" to "216"). All are exceedingly rare, since White apparently preferred circulating Civil War tokens without stamps.

VERY FINE. THE 3-CENT WHITE THE HATTER ENCASEMENT IS RARE, WITH AN ESTIMATED POPULATION OF FEWER THAN TEN EXAMPLES.

The Reed book reports five to ten known, while Hodder-Bowers estimated fewer than six. The Ford catalogue describer was a bit more generous with an estimate of ten known. (Image)
