Lovely stamps and variety. Great metal wear pattern.
At least the printer lived up to his name.
Thanks smauggie, it is a very difficult variety to obtain especially in this condition. McCracken sure did live up to his name (I should have noticed the pun to his name when I bought the block).
Rob, I'm jealous!! What a lovely block.
Regards ... Tim.
