Anyone know what this might be? It is another discovery made in an old album I acquired a while back. I know the picture is awful - sorry - but this is the third attempt at it!
The "stamp" is imperf, there is no watermark, it is on medium thickness paper, the frame measures 16mm by 21.5 mm, there are two "value tablets" showing just 5 (no denomination), and even with a magnifying glass it is impossible to make out the wording, it is very blurred. The top part of the design looks vaguely Masonic to me. I know it's a long shot, but has anyone seen the like of it before?

Fantastic!
Afraid my one example isn't as tidy as those, and I know it's not worth anything, but the history is the thing with an item like this, I always think. My confusion arose because in my old catalogue the only illustration was of the 50k green, and no mention of "different frames", which is what SG usually put in cases like this where the stamps in a set differ so much.
