Description
Encased Postage Stamps
“North American Life Insurance” Straight “INSURANCE”
EP-53, HB-190, S-141a, 3¢, NORTH AMERICAN LIFE INSURANCE, Straight “INSURANCE,” Extremely Fine.
Rarity-5 (21 to 30 known) according to Fred Reed. This is a very nice example of this scarcer, Straight “INSURANCE” type, Encased Postage Stamp. It has extremely sharp details with a lovely golden-chestnut case, the reverse legends very distinct showing only light wear. The well centered rich red George Washington stamp remains bold in appearance having some scattered dark specks under the mica with the largest at Washington’s forehead. The clear, unbroken mica is slightly wavy fine internal lamination crease at the lower right moon. It is interesting to note that these are pretty scarce as the last example of Friedberg EP-53 we offered was over a decade ago in our EAHA Auction of April 2007. Overall, a sharp specimen worthy of a better quality collection.
