Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 11/24/2023 9:10 pm I have hundreds of these from the 50s. Out of OBW rolls. 55 was a good year for them. I just put them down as incomplete mix. I call them tiger stripes. They range from one or two stripes to almost all yellow like yours. I like them. Report this Post to the Staff
