In response to a comment posted elsewhere about not enough pic's. I will posting some pic's of a few less common Revenue stamps from my collection. I will add more if their is an interest.
1st is what at first look looks like a standard R112. However it is a "R112d" Sewing Machine Perf." It is unknown how many actually still exist.

re: Some uncommon Revenues
Dan,is that R112d one that I traded you? I guess I should have checked it more closely. Glad I could add to your collection if it is one I traded to you.
O.K.-time to teach me how to describe more accurately. Eric, as I look at R112 type R13 I see it facing left. When you describe the facing, are you doing it medically (where the observer positions himself as if to be looking at himself)? If so, then yes, the vignette is facing to the right. If not, then the vignette is facing left, no?

On an envelope do you put the stamp in the top right or left. If it is the right then good old G.W. is facing right. If it's the left then I can't help you. All kidding aside, As far as I am aware every catalog uses the viewers point of view.
I haven't bought a Scott's in years, as I am not concerned with the value. In the past they always stated that the designs were similar. I do not not know what value they are using for the design picture these days. You have to look at the face value of the stamp. That series and the 3rd series uses left and right facing portraits, depending on the face value. I could post a pic of the full 2nd and 3rd series if you like. I have both complete.
OMG-that would be fabulous for us to have to supplement Scott's Specialized in that area.Please consider tucking it into an article so that we can archive it for future readers.We post the articles here on SOR, and then preserve them for the future.
Thank you for that offer-it is most appreciated.
Best,
