Vern's Comments:

Less than paper thin and tiny! This is probably one of the smallest in my entire collection and the set mentioned by BHM probably consists of no more than three or four total, all RR or more.

BHM:

Br. RR.

This piece appears to be one of a set (see No. 698). See also notes to Nos. 735 and 756.
