John.
* And I bet the dies were probably real sharp in the first couple of months of 1909 .
* A S/N 2280ns 1908 1st Issue likely was in the first delivery of 3000 scheduled for 3/09.
* Is that a double crown/T acceptance? Normally a first issue has a C/T & a C/Z. Guess it took Inspector "Z" a month or two to qualify and Inspector "T" had to cover both duties.
* Nothing like a new Contract to swell the ranks.
Respectfully,
Bob
