Description
Ninety Cent Burnett's Standard Cooking Extracts - One of Two Known
HB-89 EP-184a Scott-unl Reed-BE90 90¢ Burnett's Standard Cooking Extracts Extremely Fine.Numerical grade: 75case.75stamp.65mica = 215 Although listed as unique in all the reference works, there are two examples known. We sold the ex-Stack's '04 piece in our January '07 sale, mentioning it was one of two known, as we have long been aware of this piece in the Mayer collection. The quality is virtually identical to the other piece. The stamp and mica on this piece are a hair superior, and the case on the other example shows a bit less wear. Both pieces are genuine beyond a doubt. In this example, the case shows some actual circulation wear, with a nice golden olive color and no problems. The stamp is almost fully fresh save for a spot on the forehead. The mica is clear, but it has a few surface cracks in the top layer, the most noticeable of which passes right above Washington's head. A highly important encasement, this is one of the feature pieces in this incredible collection.
