1982 Collector's Edition limitation plates.
The aim (here) is simply to record whether limitation plates are full-page or cut-down, signed or unsigned; show the positioning of cut-down plates; and document the existence of individual numbers. A modified version of the limitation plate was also used on the outside of shipping containers; this can be seen in the first image (#4) below. Images are mostly screenshots from online auctions and EBAY listings, other images from private correspondence or personal. For context please read original article.
