Owner Comments:

O.107, R2.

It would seem Kneass was terribly conflicted over the shape of the number 2. And the size and shape of 8. For during 1828 he experimented with a curled base 2, straight, with a top knob, without, large and small 8. Thank heaven he ultimately settled down. From 1832 onward it was all curl base, knob 2 and small 8.

Ex-Willis, ex-Link.
