Notes:

• Originally second stamp in strip of four
• The imprint strips have often been described as coming from the Earl of Crawford collection. This is incorrect, and we are guilty of perpetuating the myth. Because they were handled by Nassau Stamp Co. (John A. Klemann), many philatelic writers assumed the strips were part of the vast Earl of Crawford collection, which Nassau bought in 1915. However, around 1918, Nassau bought a group of 1875 Special Printings from the widow of Charles F. Steel, a National and Continental Bank Note Co. employee, who died in 1904. Both Elliott Perry and Philip H. Ward, Jr., documented the Steel provenance for the five known copies of the Franklin Carrier Reprint, Perf 12 on white paper, Scott LO4, as well as the Scott 167-177 strips of four and all of the imperforate 1875 Special Printing strips of five (Ward, Mekeel’s, October 26, 1951).
• Klemann sold some of the Steel singles and pairs to Col. Edward H. R. Green and Benjamin K. Miller. Ward apparently bought the strips of Scott 167-177 and kept them until his death in 1963. After the Weills bought the entire Ward inventory, they sold the strips to Benjamin D. Phillips in 1964 (documented in the Phillips inventory). The Weills bought the entire Phillips collection in 1968 for $4.07 million, and they divided the strips to sell to different collectors.
