Further details
Note: This is the only recorded multiple of this stamp and it accounts for half of all the recorded examples of this stamp. The block contains the unique example of the S.G.30b top impression variety. The purplish dashes making up the line under "LONG ISLAND" on some stamps suggest that this particular key was hitting the ribbon where the black and red met.
