That is correct, Henry, but by the beginning 1929 the numbers were up to the mid-3000s, so a number in the low-2000s probably dates from the early to mid 1920s before Swallow saloons existed. Whilst number retentions and transfers did exist at this time they would have been exclusively of low denomination numbers, or perhaps nice round numbers - I can't see anyone putting any value on 2235!
