1¢ Yellow

1R16.3

Medium Long Type 'B' Strand

Hurst Type III Medium Long Type 'B' Strand. The strand seems to have become quite worn as the plate was used. "Are the last two identifiable as 1R163?" would be a fair question.

Hurst reported four clearly different strands, but only two have the plate positions determined.
