Title: $2 bird series
Post by: Finns4ever on August 09, 2010, 12:31:50 am

Hi all,  does anyone know if the large b small b listed in the charlton for the bbp and bbx thiessen crow $2 bird series applies to any other part of the bba thru bbz thiessen crow series?... for example say bba or bbd etc with one large and one small b? (Bba Bbd etc) or how about bbb (Bbb) with different size letters.... just wondering if this is an idea to look into....

All BBA-BBN prefixes feature the "large/large" variety, and all BBR-BBZ prefixes feature the "small/small" variety.

Just a note on terminology: On BBA-BBZ notes, there are a total of 4 B's (except for BBB which has six). The first letter in each prefix is the one that has the variation. The middle letter and the third letter will always be the "small" style. So when someone refers to "large/large", they are referring to the first B on the left being of the large variety, and the first B on the right being of the large variety. Similarly, a "large/small" variety means a large B on the left, and a small B on the right.
