The Twelve-cent original 1861 die essays
The balance of the
twelve-cent material shown here originally appeared in the 1941 edition of
Clarence Brazer’s opus on essays. They were buried in the collection of Falk
Finkelburg until the sale of his collection in 1999. Each example offered
here is unique. While Brazer and Finkelburg believed that they were pulled
in 1861 their exact origin still remains a mystery today.
