While Linn's Stamp Facts states that a block of four is the largest known used multiple, there does exist a used block of six, so this is now the third-largest known used multiple, as there exists at least one other used block of four. This block comes with a letter from Lester G. Brookman (a noted grill expert) dated 1954 stating that the grill and block are genuine. Of these three blocks, this block has the best centering.
