Shown here is an item I received recently from Bobby1948 and am curious to know if I have the information correct. I have been searching and researching for a good chunk of this morning as this USA Dummy comes to terms with his latest acquisitions. Am I right in assuming that this block comes from the left side of the right-hand Pane of 50 on the sheet of 100 ? Would there have been a gutter seperating the panes without perfs horizontally ? Or am I way off track I noticed whilst browsing here that Steve had posted some nice photos connected to this issue. Lovely piece of History. Londonbus1

You are correct regarding the block's location. Below is an image of a 400-subject plate that illustrates the guide line(s) used to indicate the point(s) of separation of the sheet into panes. Your block would be referred to as a line block or guide line block. When guide lines were used to mark the division into panes, the space between stamps was the same and there was no gutter. Hope that helps to clarify.
