If you can lay hands on this book it should tell you what you need to know. You might be able to obtain a copy through an interlibrary loan, if...
I have another couple vignettes to post. Pretty much my entire collection is on this thread, so I might as well keep going. The first is an...
Some years, I picked up a very nice used Lindner bank note album, which has wide sleeves (9.5"), both 2-up and 3-up. It's great for large size...
