Imperforate Officials?

In the Scott U.S Specialized catalog, in the description of Officials satmps, just above the last paragraph about the Special Printings, there is a sentence that says:
"Practially all officialstamps exist imperforate but little is known of their history"
I have never seen any pairs or blocks in any exhibit, nor have I read of any , except the mention of Departmental imperforate specimens and imperforate Newpaper and Periodical specimens in W.V.Combs's booklet "U.S.Departmental Specimen Stamps" printed in the American Philatelist in October of 1964. I did however find these four copies in a lot of other stamps that I purchased off eBay.

What reference source are you referring to where the sentence is found? I do not have that in the introductory comments before Official Stamps in the 2014 Scott Specialized. Is it somewhere else in that catalogue?

Also, you may find interesting reading in a post titled.."Possible Fakes?" posted 01/13/2014 about imperforated bank note stamps. I think you can access the post through the search function at the top of the page.

In The Scott U.S. Specialized 1982 edition, 1945 edition and the 1934 edition, all three have the same sentence.

Stamps are not imperf....sorry.
Listen to Al E Gator about the other post
on large margin stamps.

If they were trimmed, those must have been huge JUMBOs

Why do they not have 4 even margins???
Because they are each from a corner....
That is NOT proof....
PROOF is a pair!!

They at were time jumbo margins...that have been trimmed.

That two cent War Dept was clearly perforated at the top at one time.

It is a "straddle pane" stamp.
The sheet was miscut....that is what
the arrow was used for...guide (guide arrow)

Believe what you want....
I am not trying to convince you....
I am just stating facts,

Looks like he did not hear what he wanted and
took his stamps and left....

won't change anything

No one left.

Trimmed or not, the effect is pretty cool-looking, especially on the 90-cent.

Yeah, that 90 cent Interior is a monster even side by side with this tall copy!

And yet the impression is the same size, the 'trimmed' copy just has huge margins. Even though I didn't get them set exactly even. Tough to do inside a mount!

YES...the stamp on the left, the "trimmed" copy....
is from pos 90 on a sheet...thus the wider margins on the 2 sides.

No need to SHOUT Keven, you've made your opinion known.
