Encased Postage Stamps
Popular MENDUM'S FAMILY WINE EMPORIUM EP-21
EP-21, HB-176, S-129, Reed ME01. One Cent, MENDUM'S FAMILY WINE EMPORIUM, Broadway, New York City, Very Fine/Extremely Fine.
Rated as Rarity-4 (31 to 40 known) according to Fred Reed. The 1861 U.S. Postage issue blue Benjamin Franklin stamp is heavily stained on the face from when placed into this case, yet otherwise perfectly centered. The mica is clear, unbroken with faint natural lamination lines and some surface circulation noted. The case itself is fully original, and has lovely light brilliant underlying satiny luster shimmering on its reverse being a natural mellow golden-chestnut in color. The case is a lovely, sharp and distinctive example for this popular better merchant. If the stamp had not been dropped on the floor, one would have a hard time locating another piece with so much original luster still present.
