Unopened Polar Bear Pack in Heritage - 1931, not 1910

[canjond]

All-

Just a quick PSA. The Polar Bear pack currently for auction in Heritage dates to Feb 9, 1931, and is not a 1910 pack as described. This was part of a small find of Polar Bears many years ago, with all having 1931 cancels. The one currently for auction has the cancel “off cut” such that it’s difficult to read, but when you look at the tax stamp side by side with other unopened Polar Bears from the find, you can clear see the 1931 Feb 9 cancel. Please see comparison photos below.

I informed Heritage of this over a week ago and provided supporting photos, and I was informed on Monday the description would be changed. However it’s now Thursday and still no change, and the auction closes shortly. So, given the number of people here that may be bidding or watching, I felt it prudent to just make folks aware.

As a final note, notwithstanding this Polar Bear dates to 1931, it is highly desirable by lots of collectors and still should command a strong price. However, just be cognizant it’s not a 1910 pack.
