A RARE ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE 1868 3-CENT Z GRILL. The 3c Z Grill was in production for only a short period of time before the device was replaced with the F Grill. Only a small number of 3c sheets were fed thru the Z Grill, which accounts for the rarity of surviving examples, especially in original-gum condition.
