My Old Rotary Perforating Machine (Perforator)

Same here, funny how it was pulled of the bid list. Maybe for the best.

The Olathe Poste as noted above in a previous posting has a Rosback stroke perforator (U.S. Kiusalas 12-67 gauge measurement) and Anna Banana has a Rosback rotary perforator (U.S. Kiusalas 12.5-63 gauge measurement). They both perforate artistamps with their perforators. Her website is at http://mypage.uniserve.ca/~a_banana/

Both of these perforating machines were used to perforate U.S. stamps. The Rosback stroke perforator was used to perforate U.S. revenue stamps from 1914 to 1958 and the Rosback rotary perforator was used to perforate a U.S. postage stamp issue from 1919 (Scott 536).

At one time, I was planning on making labels that showed a picture of each perforator with each type perforated by the same pictured perforator as a collectible stamp label picture gauge, but it would be an expensive undertaking and I wasn't sure about how much interest there would be in these labels so that I didn't do it. Here's how they would have looked like.

Anyone still interested in a Rosback perforator?

Since I have to move, I am thinking of selling it.

If you decide to sell, please post a link here to sale

Jogil, which 20th century U.S. revenue stamps do you think were perforated with a Rosback stroke perforator?

revsguy: Kiusalas said that it was the high denominated U.S. revenue stamps [types R17, R18 and R19 (R224-R227, etc.)] from 1914 to 1940 and [type R25 (R306-R310, etc.)] from 1940 to 1958.

Very interesting.
Thank you for sharing!

I've read in Russian Philatelic Forum recently that swindlers making forgeries use sewing machines for perforation... do you imagine?!

Really liked the story about the wife that would not understand puchase like this...
Thank you for all the stories.
Real Fun to be here.
