Dietz wrote regarding this cover…This is one of the most interesting objects I've seen in a long while. The envelope is made from a leaf of a printer's catalog of brass rule, and would suggest that the maker of this cover was a printer. The "Postmark" is a type set form, again indicating that he may have printed a number of these envelopes, which again in turn, suggests a Provisional.
