Need an opinon on whether this is a Rotary Type II. Would need to send in for the Watermark check but based on the toga rope and button I feel this is a Type II.
Shannon, can you post a better image? Can't help you with this one. It's a weak impression-- could be Type II, could be Type I, but tell you the truth, I can't see the rope well enough-- could be anything.
Best to post a higher res image to Photobucket, and then link the image to your SCF post.
Thanks Ray. Have not quite figures out the Photobuket thing yet. Ill try one more time with a better pic. See if this works. If not I will have to learn something today...
you don't need to send it anywhere to check for a watermark. Use lighter-fluid (Ronson or Zippo is fine) and a black plastic or ceramic background. place your stamp face down on the black colored background and put a couple drops of lighter-fluid directly on the stamp and if there is a watermark on it it will reveal itself. Also try the 1847 website for a great help on identifying these. Best of luck to you! -Jeff
Sorry, but still can't tell. Weird but the inside flap on the ribbon on the left looks like a Type III and the lack of an extra line on the right looks like a Type II
