UPSS #1a

#UPSS #1a, 3c Red on white horizontally laid paper, die 1, size 2, knife 2, wmk. 1, with red Nesbitt seal on the reverse, a used example of this very rare "first" envelope that is only known used, posted to Millbury, Massachusetts with "Indianapolis, Ind./Dec 6 (1853)/3 Paid" c.d.s., very light vertical fold, plus small piece missing form lower back flap and light edge soiling, still attractive and nearly very fine for this; when Nesbitt first went into production of the first postal envelope, they laid out the envelopes on the paper so that the watermark and laid lines were horizontal, they soon realized that by laying out the envelopes on a bias they could obtain more envelopes per sheet, which is the normal way that envelopes have been produced ever since; these early printings with horizontal watermark produced in 1853 are extremely rare with only about 20 examples known; just newly listed in UPSS and not yet listed in Scott (Scott #1 var.).
