Green as trustee of the estate of Hetty Green and siged by him on the attached transfer document, vignete of Dixon at top, steel blue, counterfoil re-attached at left, cancelled.

Edward Howland Robinson Green, 1868-1936, also known as Colonel Green was the only son of Hetty Green and inherited half of her fortune, the other half going to his sister Harriet. He was a well known collector of both stamps and coins and was once owner of the sheet of 'inverted jenny' stamps which he later broke up. The Joseph Dixon Crucible Company, founded in 1827, grew to be the worlds' largest manufacturer of graphite products in the world. VF and rare.
