Below are a couple of Scott 158's that I believe are ribbed paper. I tried to capture good images. Any thoughts?

It is the vertically ribbed paper variety. Ribbing can occur front or back and the 3 cent Scott 158 often is a distinctive shade of dark green. If a 15 cent stamp is the wrong shade to be a National Bank Note Company printing and too well printed to be a normal Continental Bank Note printing it is likely to be the Scott 163 ribbed paper variety.

Get your black-light out. That usually shows ribbed paper very well & that looks like ribbed just from the photo.
