Feuchtwanger Strip. 9 Cent Strip of Three 3 Cent Stamps Encased. HB-Unl EP-95a. Extremely Fine+. A stunning example of this esoteric item that shows as nicely as we have handled. The stamps remain clear with just a touch of faded and the mica is remarkable with just minor blemishes when compared to the norm for these strips. Lovely brown color of the case and these have always been popular and present in most major collectors of encased postage.


Often called a "Feuchtwanger" strip as the back bears an eagle reminiscent of the Hard Time Tokens from 1837 designed by Dr. Feuchtwanger. Now believed produced in New York City in the 1890's, they have long been collected with this series. Glossy rectangular copper case. The mica is unbroken but some scattered internal laminations. The stamps are well centered with a few minor spots. An excellent type.
