This is a 1909 plate with a makers seal with number G 7.
This is the one of only a few plates known with seals with letter-number combinations.
Most seals only have numbers.

Another 1909 plate with an alphanumeric seal number - L 203

This is a 1910 plate with a makers seal number matching the plate number.
Either this is a very big coincidence, or by design.
We don't know which.

The 1912 plates had 2 styles of date.
One with a slanted "1", and one with a square "1".

Plates #10063 and #18598 have the square "1", so it looks like
there is a range of plates including those two numbers.

1913

Partway through 1913, the dies changed slightly. Notice the pointed "1" on the first plate (like previous years)
and the squared-off "1" on the remake and the later issues.

The plates from 10000 to 19999 were shorter than the standard 5-digit plates.
Even if the numeral "1" was in the final 4 digits, the plate size did not change, but the spacing of digits was different.

Big space between 5's

Here is another example of a plate with an alphanumeric seal number.
This is a 1915 plate with seal number A 20.
