Type I The ribbon above the 2 on both the left and right sides has a shading line. On the left ribbon it is on the first curve and on the right ribbon it is on the 2nd curve. Button at the base of the neck has a very faint outline. At the base of the neck the curvey short lines running from the button to the throat are also very faint. The lines in front of the ear are separated Type Ia Is not shown but is similar to Type I except that all of the lines are stronger. Lines of the button are also heavy. Type II The ribbons above the 2 are shaded as in type I. The button at the base of the neck is heavy, and the curvey lines running from the left of the button to the front of the neck are also heavy with a top border line.The shaded lines in front of the of the ear are joined and end in a curve running to the ear.

Type Va Is the same as type 5 except that the shaded dots on the nose are different. The third row of dots from the bottom have four dots instead of six. These dots on the nose are only present on certain printing processes. Type VI Is the same as type V except that the line of color in the left "2" is very heavy. This only occurs with some printing processes. Type VII The line of color on the left "2" is heavier and not broken as in type V or Va.
