Highly specialized collection exhibiting the 1939 Philatelic Truck Sheet issue, the forerunner to modern souvenir cards. Several related articles, photos, truck schematic, and a BEP White House engraving that was used for truck sheet. Then several truck sheets, ones overprinted for Chicago Philatelic Society and Kent and Ravenna Philatelic Society, sheet signed by designer and engraver, several used on covers, and several rubber-stamped cacheted covers. The best are the several sheets with plate numbers and diagram how they can exist (with and without gum), a strip of 3 sheets with line (states only one other exists!), a "line pair" of sheets, a single showing the line at bottom, and three (3) miscut sheets round out the exhibit. A rare and priceless opportunity to acquire one of the most unique consignments we have handled. (Est $3000-4000)
