The cardboard mailer measures approx. 7-3/8" x 7-1/2", and was mailed Registered, with #567 20c carmine rose tied by black "NEW YORK, N.Y./W. 43D ST. STA." double oval, and with purple NYC Registered postmark at bottom, dated Aug. 28, 1929.

A most unusual postal history item - great for an exhibit of the regular issues of 1922-1925, as a single usage of the 20c stamp from this issue.
The mailer is Very Fine. The metal record has light wear. The inner sleeve is Very Fine.
