I have a Penny Black that my father gave to me some 55 years ago. Since then it has been stored away and not looked at.
I would be very grateful if someone could suggest what plate number this stamp might be part of. Many thanks.

It looks like the lower left corner was attached to this stamp. That makes it impossible to be certain.
However, it appears to be an example from plate 7.

Many thanks NSK - I did some research myself and I thought it might possibly be plate 7 too - however I needed confirmation by someone who is an expert such as yourself. Thank you very much for your time and consideration. Best regards strebor.

I agree with NSK, a plate 7.

Gee, plate 6 is close though isn't it!

The letters, yes. The frames are not in the same universe.
