Description
Joseph H. Merriam, a Boston medalist who also cut dies and lettering, made this card to advertise himself: dealer descriptions of this variety read his die as giving those trades, his Brattle Square address and the founding year 1850, and the other side as a dog with the pun "Good for a Scent" and the date 1863. Fuld MA-115E-1a is the copper striking (a) of die pair 1; Boston is town 115 in Fuld's Massachusetts list and Merriam is its merchant E. NGC dates it 1863.
