Was using this as a bookmark and looked at the stamp and got to wondering how this could be- either it has trimmed sides (1 or 2?) or maybe this is the last stamp on a coil, or first if wound the other way.

The right side is cut just beyond the perfs so my guess is just cut strangely... but being a bear of very little brain.... Thanks, RnC

Well, it probably was not the last of a coil roll but more likely mis-cut by the equipment used by the mailer

So simultaneously as rare as hens teeth and useless as teats on a boar?

I thought it was a cutting mistake but figured person not machine.. thanks.
In any case something else to be blamed on big oil..haha

Would the last of a coil roll have perfs on only one side?

That's a neat cover! I just read the Wikipedia entry on the history of credit cards. I had no idea they were that old.

Thank you Don I guess that answers that... Mosch- that's why I kept this one- I think I have some credit card covers back to 1932 maybe 33 or so. Now I gotta go see what W says are the first ones.... Happy to send you one of these if its possible to get your address, though it will take some hunting to find where I have others.. Andy
