Finest Known Drake's Ribbed Frame Ten Cents Drake's Plantation Bitters. 10 Cents, Ribbed Frame. HB-105, EP-111, S-73a. About Uncirculated. Certainly one of the rarest types for this issuer with us being only aware of two known examples. The lesser quality piece was part of the Ford collection which sold in 2004 bringing $2,500. The current example was formerly part of the Lily Collection and later traveling through both the Mayer and Kelly collections with the last realization being in 2012 where it brought $9487.50. The ribbing on the frame is quickly observed, differentiating this piece from the more available plain frame type. The case is highly attractive while exhibiting original silvering at center. Clear mica reveals a pleasing stamp and just some trivial marks are seen at the extreme edges. An integral part of on advanced collection of Encased Postage.
