Numbers 263 and 264 in the rebuilt collection
Pete Z. here on the board contacted me with a couple days left in the recent REA auction and offered to trade his Bransfield with a Hindu back and Howe's stamp, along with the Milan Piedmont and Howe's stamp if I was able to pickup one of the Hindu-backed T206s in the auction. Well, I knew Pete had had the Bransfield for several years, but didn't know about the Milan, so looking at the prospects of picking up one Howe-stamped Hindu-backed T206 for the same cost (or more) or getting two made that a pretty easy choice. Thanks for the trade, Pete.
