Farley Sheets. Large accumulation in three old-time tubes, two tubes are franked on the outside with various stamps of the era for shipping (faults), apparently included are four or more sets of the National Parks as well as the other commemoratives issued at the same time, without the time-consuming process of unrolling all the sheets we do not have an exact count, but two of the tubes are heavy with sheet contents so the inventory notes on the outside are probably accurate, no doubt the typical edge flaws will be found, Very Fine and very old-time hoard
