The very rare Scott #356 Washington Franklin coil for only $5 !!

As advertised by St. Louis stamp dealer Charles H. Mekeel.

Only catch is you need a time machine to transport you back to 1912 when his price list was in effect.

I was looking in my 20 year old catalog from the early 1990s, and at that time, a used single was cataloged at about $600 - about the same at the time for a used #1. Now the 356 catalogs I think $4,500 used and the #1 is still in about the same $600 position. Interesting how quickly this one has gone through the roof.
