Here's an interesting
ebay listing on a similar E15, but with an entire plate block:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/U-S-E15-PB-...190608700205Note the comment that LR position plate number 19280 35 is said to have a known "cracked plate". Actually, my Scott Specialized Catalog references it as E15b "gashed plate". I don't think either the stamp scanned above or the
ebay listing show that particular variety.
As this is not my area of study, can anyone confirm that since the stamp shown is plate number 19280, does that automatically make it a E15b (gray lilac) variety as compared to an E15 (gray violet) or E15a (red lilac)?
