AN OUTSTANDING MULTIPLE OF THIS KEY 20TH CENTURY VARIETY.
Expertization: 1993 P.F. Certificate.
Only about 100 examples are recorded of the 1¢ perf. 11 made from rotary press coil waste. These particular examples come from the "Fairbanks" find of 1934 which consisted of nine covers, each franked with a pair, that had been returned by the post office from a bulk mailing done ten tears earlier. All of the Fairbanks covers were cut down to pieces.
