Title: HB-29, EP-34, S-15, Reed-AS03SM. Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, 3 Cents, Small “AYER’S” Type.
R-4 31 to 40 Known. Choice About New.


Description: Rated as Rarity-4 (31 to 40 Known) according to Fred Reed. This cataloger believes that this EP number is vastly rarer. This listed Small “AYER’S” type is extremely difficult to locate. This exceptional quality specimen is certainly among the finest known. Three specimens were sold in the Ford Collection Sale of 2004 of which None were graded above Choice Very Fine. This beautiful example has a deep red George Washington stamp which is nicely centered and has a few tiny scattered flyspecks just a bit towards the top. The mica is clear and unbroken with a trivial faint natural surface lamination. The natural rich chestnut case shows signs of light cabinet friction and no real circulation wear. Worthy of a premium for its high quality.
