EXTREMELY FINE. ONE OF THE RAREST OF ALL ENCASED POSTAGE ISSUES. A MARVELOUS EXAMPLE OF THIS HIGH-DENOMINATION LORD & TAYLOR ENCASEMENT.
The Ford sale catalogue (Stack's 6/23/2004, lot 552) comments "we believe there are only two of these known and have not seen an auction sale of one since 1988." The Reed census rates it R-9 (2-4 known).

VERY FINE. A CHOICE EXAMPLE OF THE RARE 12-CENT MENDUM'S FAMILY WINE EMPORIUM ENCASED POSTAGE STAMP, THE HIGHEST VALUE OF THIS PRODUCER.

EXTREMELY FINE. TRULY OUTSTANDING CONDITION FOR THIS RARE ONE-CENT ENCASED POSTAGE STAMP ISSUED BY JOHN W. NORRIS.
The 1c Norris is rated R-8 (5-10 known) in the Reed census. This example is superior to the Ford specimen, which realized $3,500 hammer. (Image)
FINE. AN EXCEEDINGLY RARE 3-CENT ENCASEMENT ISSUED BY JOHN W. NORRIS.
This specimen was described in the Ford sale catalogue (Stack's 6/23/2004, lot 565) as "Choice Extremely Fine" and "Certainly one of the nicest known." We suppose this is true, considering there are fewer than five reported examples.

VERY FINE. ONE OF THE FINEST OF THE FEW KNOWN EXAMPLES OF THE 10-CENT NORRIS ENCASEMENT.
The Reed census rates this 10c Norris at R-8+, meaning 5-10 known and possibly scarcer. (Image)
