Printed on bond paper by the American Bank Note Co., New-York. 43.5cm (part of stub folded back) by 18.0 cm. Full bond with stub at the left end. Bond layout identical to Hessler X130D, but with those subtle changes. Washington top center, flanked by flags. Brown transfer form on back. Unnumbered. Penciled notation on transfer and crayon mark on folded back part of stub. Two oval signature cancels as described in Christies November 28-29, 1990 Leo sale catalog.
