Hello to all,

Trying to put a classification to this wrapper - I am between a W434 or W435 with the difference of the two being glazed paper or not. I am trying to take pictures from an angle that may offer the reflection and am not sure if this is even relevant. Is the glaze fairly obvious if present and how might I differentiate the two? Thanks for any shared thoughts.

The difference is one of those which is obvious when you have a comparison of two, one glazed and one not.

Brown vs. Manila: How to Correctly Identify Those Circular Die Papers by Lehr, Bill in U.S. Stamp News, Vol. 15, No. 7, Whole # 110, JUL 2009, pgs 34-35

Edited to add: By your scan I would suggest W433 although it is risky ti guess paper based on a scan.
