Douglas Ball does not list a 2d
denominated ticket in his book*. A slightly edited version of his description of Burns’s 4d
denominated ticket suffices to describe the ticket above: "BOUND BY / BURN, LONDON.
/
(enclosed in ring
between single rules), / POSTAGE / 2D. / (within central circle),
lozenge triple-rule frame with corners decorated, 23 x 23 mm." This ticket is found in the book
listed
below, although not all copies of this book may contain this ticket,
or
any ticket at all.
