DPC Facit #3 RARE VARIETY [2 Cent Double Card with 6 lines of text on both cards] Mint VF. This is a new, previously unlisted variety of Facit #3, Engstrom #3A, Ringstrom #3A. It is a variety of those cards, but not an exact match of any of them.
Message Card: Line 1: 67 mm; Line 2: "SELLE)." [period outside]; Line 3: "DANOISES).".
Reply Card: Line 1: 66 mm; Line 2: "SELLE.)" [period inside]; Line 3: "DANOISES).".
Apparently neither Engstrom or Ringstrom ever had this card and the current owner of the Engstrom collection does not believe that he has it either. An outstanding rarity which appears to be the only recorded example.
