1910 Turkey Red Cigarette Silk help

[andybecker]

15-20 years ago, I had an opportunity to buy a fresh group of s74-2s from a non-collector who found them in a deceased family member's drawer. he brought them to me in a brown paper lunch bag, the bag was literally half full. each and every silk was folded in half down the middle horizontally. none had any evidence of paper backing, glued or not.
these were dead mint less the fold, they had to be from to the original owner.

the weird thing, to me, was all were s74-2...and, I think, there were just too many to have come from the same year.....so, unless it was regional, where were the s74-1's?

to answer the OP, your silk is from 1910 and is worth around $100 if the top boarder is there, I cant see it in the scan.

Thanks very much for everyone's expert information on this item. I won it at auction for 42.00. I will post more images after I get it.
