I have a cut square that I'm trying to identify. I've been using the Scott U.S. Specialty catalog as an aid and the closest match I can find is the Scott U125 (brown on orange). I'm sure it's probably some different variation, but based on the pictures from the catalog none of the other squares have the same shape bust like the U125 does. Anyone that has expertise to share, please do. Thanks a bunch.



This is the Scott U125 identifier that I'm matching this to:

I don't have expertise in this area but my attempt at identification follows:

I would call the design U39 because the inside of the "O" in TWO" is netted and there also appear to be diagonal crosslines in the "G" and "C" making your cut square Scott U136.

I initially thought the same thing, although the shape of the bust that falls directly inline with the "W" in "Two" is very different to U39 as it has very sharp corners. Only design U36 shares this characteristic. Then again, I am no expert as well...thanks for the input
