Percy Collingwood (proprieter of Attleboro Stamp Co.) corner card cover to Lorian O., unsealed for circular rate

VERY FINE AND CHOICE. AN EXTREMELY RARE COVER BEARING THE ONE-CENT ATTLEBORO PRIVATE VENDING MACHINE COIL.

In 1909 the Attleboro Stamp Company employed a stamp-affixing machine to apply postage to bulk mailings of its price lists and editions of the Attleboro Philatelist. Although the company served stamp collectors, the Attleboro coil appears to have been a purely utilitarian product, limited in its scope to the basic 1c and 2c stamps necessary for mailing and not intended to create new varieties for collectors. Examples of these coils are scarce to rare, with the pair of Scott 344 priced at $45,000.00 in Scott, among the highest values of all 20th century varieties.

The 1c Attleboro was typically used on wrappers with the printed Attleboro Philatelist corner card. This unsealed envelope is extremely rare.

With 1977 P.F. certificate. Scott lists but does not price this stamp used on a cover. (Image)
