There are four known letterheads in the class of letterheads we are calling Novelty (links below), not counting the notorious Rorschach-1 Letterhead. What they have in common is a lack of verbal information of any kind. They are all design.

The design for this one is simple and ordinary. It is apparently a woodcut image of a series of flowers marching in a line across the bottom of the page, hand-stamped onto the paper a little off-kilter, with the line of flowers bordered by two thick straight lines. There appear to be no other features such as watermarks or embossed whatnot.

Only one letter is known to have been written on this letterhead, to Ma Yoga Sohan:

Letter written on 21 Jun 1969

Other letterheads in this class have also been used only sparingly, and in the same four-month period in 1969:

Novelty-1 Letterhead (two letters later in Jun)
Novelty-2 Letterhead (one letter in Oct)
Novelty-3 Letterhead (one letter in Oct)
