Posted By: <b>Patrick McMenemy</b><p>Hi Dan,<br /><br />What you have is a S74 colored silk. They do have value especially the nice condition ones like the one you posted. The colored silks usually do not have any paper backing whereas, the White S74s originally had a paper backing advertising brands such as: Turkey Red, Old Mill, Red Sun, and Helmar.<br /><br />The colored ones come in a wide range of color combinations. I happen to collect Chief Meyers in the both S74 sets.<br /><br />Patrick
