Well, it reminds me of a 1961-D 5c that I had for many many years that had 4.5+ steps and a killer strike.

Nice to see so many original "Mercateers" still responding to threads about the little ladies. I come and go on these boards, but always enjoy seeing my old friends here!
Ken, nice pick up... you always did have a good eye and find attractive bargains!
