Macerated Currency "Bale" With Image Of White House

Extremely Rare Macerated Currency "Bale," with an image of the White House on top, and a Bureau of Engraving and Printing label on the bottom, Very Fine.
This extremely unusual form of Macerated Currency, the first we have handled, is made to resemble a bale of Macerated paper, but looks more like folded wads of money. This bundle, measuring 2.25" tall x 3.25" wide x .75" thick, has a Postcard image of the White House on the top, and an official, original BEP label on the bottom, all of which is held together by two steel wires. The Bureau of Engraving and Printing label reads:
"More than 100 Bales of this U. S. Macerated Money, each weighing 250 pounds, are turned out Daily by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. Estimated value $1,000."
There are some trivial scuffs or bumping to the corners, otherwise this bundle or "Bale" is pretty much as made. Extremely Rare and desirable as we've never seen another.
