Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>The backings are blank. This one was mfg and it looks like the silk ran out and part of the front top was printed on the back.....The silk of this one comes off the back just a little and you can see the rest of it is blank.....regards

Posted By: <b>Leon</b><p>I figured you would chime in and I appreciate it. Had I seen it on ebay I probably would have saved several hundred dollars.....such is life....I thought silk collectors would have an interest...

Posted By: <b>Ed Hans</b><p>Andy,<br /> Not that long ago, really. Within two years, if my memory serves me. And yes, Leon, you would've saved a few pennies. Enjoy anyway. Ed
