Covers & Cancels Minor imperfections, including but not limited to: nicks, edge or flap tears or slight reductions are normal conditions for 19th century en- velopes that have been postally transmitted. Folded letters would have at least one file fold.Acceptable forms of conservation include light cleaning and edge mending. Covers may have an ordinary stamp with a minor defect. The above exist in most 19th century covers and are not always described and therefore not grounds for return. Catalogue Values Unless otherwise noted, the currently available Scott Catalogue values (2016 editions) are quoted in dollars and rounded to the nearest dollar.

SAID TO BE THE FINEST OF ONLY FIVE COLLECTABLE PAIRS IN EXISTENCE.

Unperforated gutter pairs of the 20c carmine William Tell with grilled gum were unknown until 1989. The story goes that a technician from the Swedish Stamp Printing Works visited the Swiss P.T.T. in order to study Swiss methods of coil and booklet production. During the visit someone at the P.T.T. presented the Swedish technician with a uncut booklet sheet that had not yet had its gutters perforated. Some 60 years later sheet became available for sale in Sweden. Unfortunately, it had been stored so carelessly that five of the ten gutter pairs were destroyed.

The example we offer here is considered the best of the remaining five and was used to illustrate an article in the Swiss philatelic press at the time of the discovery.
