One last request please. I believe I've found all of the letters in the three leaf excise set EXCEPT for the 13¢ stamp. I can't find an illustration large enough to read. Anyone with an FX-73 stamp, what are the two letters? Thank you!!!

There is a "B" in the upper swirl of the scroll on the right - nothing where the "x" is on the 2 1/4 cent. I see nothing on the left.
(I have nothing to take pictures with, sorry:(

Looks like a "J" in upper left of FX73 13c blue excise tax stamp

I can add the missing notes to my personal website now

I believe that backwards "J" is on all the three leaf stamps. Must just be part of the design.

There is a forward "J" in the ball at the end of the Upper Left ornament where other values have a partial circle.

If we go with your premise that the "J" only appears on yours and not other stamps, then we can use the same argument for my stamp, the "B" only appears on this stamp and not others as shown below.
