National Paper & Type Co. of Cuba, S.A.

Apartado 666 (Post Office Box), O'Reilly 46, Havana, Cuba

This firm produced perfins from 1914 to 1938.

I am sorry to report that no perfin covers on company letterhead have been located or reported. However, as a consolation prize I will show you what to look for. The example is an envelope used 28 May 1918 from the same approximate time period that the company was putting perfined stamps on their envelopes.

NPT non-perfin cover

National Paper & Type Co. cover without perfin


There are four known NPT perfin covers, all probably incidental or unauthorized usages. They are:

NPT to Los Angeles, CA 1938

National Paper & Type Co. perfin on cover to Los Angeles, CA, April 1938. The stated return address, Apartado 666 (P.O. Box 666),
is the correct box number of National Paper & Type Company according to several Google book "hits".
It confirms that National Paper & Type Co. is the pattern owner.
