When you do come across a dark red colored material S74-2 silk that has escaped fading, the dark red really sticks out and pretty much overshadows whatever color ink was used.
Again, nice Chase silk. You do have the very typical fraying at the top and bottom, but the tobacco brand name and factory designation are both clear and complete, with no fraying to either of them, which is what you want to see. Also, you can still see some of the darker colored red silk material at the very top and very bottom of the silks that shows where they had applied whatever it was to help stop the fraying when the silk was originally cut. Whenever you are looking for the colored S74-2 version silks, you want to see as little (to no) fraying as possible, and these darker material stripes across the very top and bottom as fully intact as possible.
