It is not clear whether
13 is a re-allocation of an Early Series number that became vacant when the PPP name ceased in 1934, or is part of a separate little 'Animal' numbering series. It is one of a series of animal-decorated shapes that all feature a wide flaring foot and become narrower upwards. See
