Now this is a slightly different version of Nottingham Castle, much easier to see than the R. & J. Hill card we showed yesterday - but the burning question is were the trees not yet grown so tall when the artwork was done for this card, or were they removed from the image? Any Nottingham researchers wishing to comment, please do.
Our original Lambert & Butler reference book, RB.9, issued in 1948, describes this set as :
75. 50. MOTOR INDEX MARKS. Fronts printed by letterpress, 4-colour half-tone process. Backs in dark green, with descriptions. December 1926.
The original World Tobacco Issues Index is shorter, at just "Sm. Nd. (50)" - and this remains the same in the more recent update, except for the code, of course.
