Just to be thorough, the 3 types I&#39;ve identified from the photo are S4L, H2D w/ CC (concentric-circle incisions), &amp; Z2U. Coincidentally, a specimen of this latter type was used on the first postage stamps issued with the name of Israel in 1948.G.M.

One thing I can add is that these 3 particular LMLK handles have never been published before, though as I wrote on Biblicalist this morning, all 3 represent known types dating to Hezekiah&#39;s reign. They also represent specimens found in strata immediately before/after the Assyrian destruction event, so it&#39;s not surprising if all 3 came from the same locus in Jerusalem since it was not destroyed by Sennacherib.G.M.
