No background information on this shop worn example.

This R175 never had the I.R. overprint.

I suspect this is a one off example.

The original cancel is the B. B. & Co., New York, which I suspect is one NYSE brokers, but there is more than one B. B. & Co. firms on the NYSE, so no way to determine the right and proper company name.

Does any one have better factual information?
