Here is an early tag in a black cap.
I wrote above that, each week, new material comes to light. I have never seen this particular tag in a black cap. And mark you, I have seen more than one black cap and a lot of tags. This is a very rare variant from a rare maker. I have seen caps from A1/35 (maybe Derek Chapman will tell us who this was...) However, this evidence found by one of our most accomplished masters of the here to fore unseen piece, substantiates my point that all lists of "known makers..." or variants a through d are somehow specious. It is all well and good to make lists, but they have to be definitive. Rather, we take pleasure in reflection on the known knowns and the unknown unknowns.
