Battered Yet I Looked

 This is a well worn #10 Finland with serpentine roulette perforations from 1866-1874 or else an 1893 reprint on thicker woven paper. Without knowledge of the colors I'm looking for to know the difference, or stamps to compare paper thickness I'll settle for that as the possibilities. I measured the depth of the serpentines and determined it is not of the special varieties in the thousands of dollar catalogue value, I am happy to find it in my mixture from Elmer never the less. It's always exciting finding a stamp in the catalogue with expensive varieties. I feel like I'm checking my lotto ticket numbers when I'm making measurements with my perf gauge.
