1889 Effets de Commerce
Two types of the Cone issue ornaments
Left side - Type A
Cones are separated from the center cross
Right side - Type B
Cones touch or nearly touch the center cross
Since the 1889 Cone issue (Barefoot 50 to 55) is fairly common, it's not too difficult to acquire examples of both types. Barefoot notes the two types, but does not give them separate numbers. My Type B is often found printed in a darker blue.
