I never actually got around to adding to my website the 3 sheets of the best stamps that I had pulled from the Chicagopex hoard last November, the ones that I would have purchased as singles had I not been able to buy the entire collection.

Included on those sheets was a lovely example of Scott # R13d, one of the tougher silk papers, less common than the $175 catalog value implies. So as I’m imaging it for the website I realize that it’s not just a silk paper. It’s also an unlisted double transfer.

Look at the lettering across the top as well as the ribbon and ornaments down the left side.
