San Francisco, California: 1951. Unbound. Two of the three letters feature several colorful small vignettes, one showing Harris as “El Rey del Timbres” (The King of Stamps) standing atop a tower of stamp journals and almanacs.

The third contains an illustration in blue and black depicting Harris as a business mogul seated behind a large desk surveying a huge stamp distribution warehouse and fleet of delivery trucks.

All are enclosed in one of Harris’s shipping envelopes.

Harris was apparently also recognized as an expert with regard to valuable “grilled” U.S. stamps, as examples bearing his pencil signature occasionally appear in prominent philatelic auctions today.
