A POST OFFICE FRESH EXAMPLE OF THE EXCEEDINGLY RARE PLATE BLOCK OF CAP ON LEFT "2" VARIETY.
Given that this plate block was cut from the sheet and the matching plate no. and "TT", it should be safe to assume that this multiple came from the same sheet as the plate block from the Robert R Hall collection (RAS sale #1096, lot 386, 4/28/2015).
