Today made a special trip to the PO for a package, turns out the stiff cardboard packaging was used to protect this precious antique. It looks older by far than the stated date, remindes me of a Rigby model the manner in which it is drawn, and the paper is faded and fragile. Perhaps it has been stored outdoors, you know or gone through the wash in someone's pocket. It's like an old dollar found outdoors in the spring when the snow melts. I'm going over my options now in my head....
