The proposal, made in January 1886 was later rejected. Extremely rare pair, left stamp with vertical crease not affecting appearance and possibly contemporary, slight indentation at base well away from the Essays, just one imperforate sheetlet of six examples was printed. Signed Todd AIEP. Cert. Hass (1989) Nile Post E88a = $ 1'500.
