Envelopes - indicium has same design as Sc. 79-114, issued starting in 1908

H&G B9 or B10 - 5c
H&G B13 - 50c

Even in the enlargement of the indicium, with the area where the train is outlined, you can be forgiven if you regard it as an optical illusion (sort of like this Spanish charity stamp). Even on the stamp version, also shown, is that REALLY a train? Fortunately, Sc. 210B reproduces the original design in greater clarity, and the train is clear.
