Leo's Notes
The left frame is weak opposite the bottom half of the LNB and thin at the LL corner. There is a white vertical line in its middle.
The bottom frame is very thin at the LL corner, and gradually gets to its normal thickness at the left edge of the 2. There is a nick in the upper side of the bottom frame below the right edge of the 2.
The bottom line of the LNB bends slightly to the bottom as it goes to the LL corner and extends past the vertical line without touching it.
The vertical line of the LNB stops short of the LL corner, leaving a slight gap at the corner.
This stamp and the two above it are Type O1, not O2.
