Lot 1133
1848 N-27 R2 Counterstamped F15. Brunk G-10. Glossy chocolate and light olive brown. No defects. The obverse was counterstamped "USE/G.G.G/&/G.G.G.G" in 4 lines. This mark is attributed to Charles H. Goodwin of Exeter, New Hampshire, in 1855-1856. The product being advertised here is "Goodwin's Grand Glittering Globules" which was touted as "Perfume for the Breath." Apparently a precursor for breath mints. Rather neat stuff.
Estimated Value $50-UP.
Ex Bowers & Merena 11/18/93:3168.
