Hi,was having some problems while going thru my grandmothers old Dansco albums trying to identify these 3 stamps. Colors are where I'm having problems..The 2 top stamps have grills 13mmx9mm Would appreciate any help. Thank you. Keith
As much as I like grills, I'd rather see a scan of the bottom Stamp. Can you scan a good high resolution image of the bottom one ? As for the Grills, it is the number of points, size of Grill and whether it has horizontal or vertical ridges. A good starting point is here.
Better, but a 1200dpi scan would help immensely.I see it has a New Orleans cancel, is that a 5 I see ? It looked like it might have a Pink tone to it which could mean decent value. I believe it is a Scott 65 which is a common Stamp but it has very nice centering and the Perforations are in very good condition. The crease running across the Stamp will hurt the value.
It does have a light pink tone to it which seems to be lost on the higher resolution. It actually is very light pink. Thank you very much for the help. I appreciate it. Keith
9mm wide x13mm high (13mmx9mm in your opening post) would be an F grill which is Scott #94. There is not even another grill dimension close to this size for this issue.
gkc-- the 'pinkish' stamp is a 65, maybe in a pinkish-rose shade, but since it's canceled with the year 1865, it can only be a #65, and not a 64 or 64b. Those were printed first, before the rose color, and they were only printed in August and September of 1861. It is a very pretty stamp, though!! Hope this helps, Ray
