Description

The New York Store of Waterbury, Connecticut used a second pair of dies for Fuld CT-560A-2a, a copper card, dated 1863, whose edge PCGS describes as plain. In the code, 560 is Waterbury, A the merchant letter, 2 the die pair and letter a copper. As one dealer records the legend, it names the store with “Millinery and Fancy Goods”, then Waterbury and 1863, a different wording from die pair 1, which offers redemption in postage currency.
