Special Handling 1928 From Dad

Just came across these in the box Dad sent for Christmas. Perfs on 3 sides, probably part of a sheet? Great gum on this PP13. I got the new Scott 2015 Vol. 1 A-B in the same box for Christmas. Makes things easier and saves a lot of time. I'm going through stamps pre 1940 from Rhodesia, Malta, South Africa,Philippines, Cuba, India, Australia, China, Japan and more! I don't have Scotts for all these but I'll figure it out. Just thought I would share the find. Happy New Year to all.

Nice Christmas package! That group of pre-40 stuff sounds like lots of fun!

regards, Theron.

Thanks Yakboomer. I have about 800 stamps to catalog from the new batch. Looks like some work that I'll enjoy.

stamp shown is #QE2

and from a right and pane on the sheet and margin copy. That line up the left of it on the straight edge is a cut-line or guide line from when the sheet was printed and helps the cutters liberate all 4 panes from the entire sheet for easier manipulation/handling and shipping. Good Christmas score!

Thanks Kevin504 and I_Love_Stamps. This Stamp Community is awesome for information and responsiveness.
