Item Description
This first seen rarity is the same 1.75" size as the two standard versions by W&H, but this holds back paper by Bainbridge, Syracuse. It has .25" tear and minor wear. There are two other primary differences. First the art work of the factory worker in apron rolling up his sleeve is much less refined than on the W&H version. Also, both the W&H yellow background version and the blue rim version begin the slogan with word "We're" whereas this slogan begins "We Are".  Outer edge scattered age marks going inward at worst 1/8". Full gloss and about 90% stain free. Fine. Rare.
