This is "Historically Significant" fuse, some of the last made in the US I'm guessing.  I don't know whether it's worth more as time fuse or as a pyro collector's item.  Anyway, it's been on the shelf for a few years.  I purchased it from Mike Bradash who is a lot of things but he's not dishonest so I am comfortable with its provenance.

It does not have visible mold on the surface, no water stains that I can see.  It did have some specs here and there in the package that are verified (ouch) as BP and not something else.  It was stored dry and in a climate controlled magazine.
