Should be listed (and the break under the "E") as a variety in the U.S. 20th and 21st Century Stamped Envelopes and Wrappers (2017) from the UPSS (United Postal Stationery Society). I would look it up if I had a copy, but others here do.

Adam's Apple
(The original sin)
Adam (and Eve) take a bite of an Apple, (The forbidden fruit) from a serpent (The Devil) which gets lodged in Adam's throat, to forever remind him.

Adam by Durer.

Adam and Eve by Cranach


The first testament does not mention an apple, just a forbidden tree with unspecified fruit.

Adam and Eve and the Serpent

I.E. 'Adam and Eve' as shown in Rod's post... does anyone know why artists almost always depicted Adam and Eve with belly buttons?

Similar discrepancies applies to most Christian topic stamps depicting Middle Eastern people with light skin tones and hair color.

Pardon the pun! It is technically the laryngeal prominence.

since Adam was made from the clay of the new earth it was the tie point from which he was hung to dry & solidify prior to the spirit of life being breathed into him. (Maybe Eve was made from the inside out & that was the access spot & tied when finished???) Adam was created in the likeness & from scratch, Eve from Adam's rib. with MAJOR modification....

Could it be that all these artists were way ahead of their days and believed in evolution?

Returning to OP's questions. . . . .

Wrapper size: This particular issue was produced in just one size. I.E., your wrapper's size.

"Adam's Apple": This die variety is common and exists over a spectrum of die wear.

". . .the break under the "E") as a variety. . .": Hard to be certain given the quality (lack thereof) of the images, but I would judge the "break" as a die pinch crease, which are quite common with rotary presses of the era. A printing variety, not a die variety.
