FINE APPEARING AND RARE EXAMPLE OF THE 10-CENT H.A. COOK ENCASEMENT. ONLY 5-CENT AND 10-CENT DENOMINATIONS WERE ISSUED BY THIS EVANSVILLE, INDIANA, DRY GOODS MERCHANT.
Henry A. Cook was one of John Gault's earliest customers. The 10c is the more available of the two Cook encasements, but still only 11-15 are reported in the Reed census.

VERY FINE AND RARE EXAMPLE OF THE DOUGAN 3-CENT "TOP HAT" ENCASEMENT. BETWEEN ELEVEN AND FIFTEEN ARE RECORDED IN THE REED CENSUS.
John A. Dougan sold his hats from a store located at 102 Nassau Street in New York City. The advertising legend on Dougan’s encasements depicts a men’s top hat, making them among the most distinctive and desirable of encased postage stamps. Dougan’s store and $5,000 worth of goods were destroyed in a fire on December 12, 1878 (New York Times archive).
