Thanks Anson, and hijack away! We might as well get more involved. Those are great examples of the Antracite Baking overprint, which I think are fairly rare and only remember seeing once before, probably when you showed them. It is interesting that one of the R316 you posted has a "Made in USA" on the front. I possibly remember reading an article you had on the prewarcards site that you theorized (if I remember correctly) that the ones with the less commonly seen "Made in U.S.A." designation were likely a Canadian issue. Or then again I might be confusing this with the R314 group of sets.
Anywho, here are some more examples from the great R316 Kashin set for those who R-Curious.
