Unique "Curved Insurance" 12 Cents North American Life Insurance North American Life Insurance Co. 12 Cents, Curved INSURANCE. HB-200, EP-155a. Very Fine. An encasement with an illustrious Pedigree that has seen its way through the Ford, Mayer and Kelly collections. All relevant references to the subjects point to this being the sole example known for the variety with the cataloger from the Ford sale stating "Probably unique: we have no records of another, and have not heard of even a rumor of one." Seen with the back styling with attractive arched lettering spelling out "INSURANCE," in favor of the prior lots straight style. The case and frame have been polished decades ago although the brassy tone has a nice allure. A bold well centered stamp is welcomed along with clear mica in direct light with just some separations and minor crazed mentioned for accuracy. The last realization was in the Kelly collection where it brought just under $5000 in 2012. An encasement that will certainly help the collection it enters journey towards the finest.
