C6 24c Air Post With Doubled Corner

Would this stamp be the result of a dropped roll or double transfer?

yep...looks like a doubling of the frame line LR.
SCOTT does list a double transfer for this # but
just includes that it was from plate 14841

This is listed as a double transfer in the French book of Plate Varieties of U>S> Stamps. Lovely item, wish I had found it.

I agree, this is a gorgeous double-transfer. It also seems to appear at UR, in the "GE" of postage, the frame and the scrollwork. It might simply be from over-ink, but...



While I enjoy my "not quite local anymore" stamp club, I cannot get this sort of advise/information there. So, when the rain arrives this afternoon and saves me from my "Honey-Do" commitments, I plan on checking through my half-page of C6's.

revcollector - Would you please post the title and author. This sounds like something I would benefit from adding to my library, or at least borrowing from APRL.

Better still, are there any similar books in English?

The French book is on this list: http://usstamps.org/books.html
This source is sold out, but they can be found.

Encyclopedia of Plate Varieties on U.S. Bureau Printed Stamps
by Loran C. French.


On Amazon it is up to $95 now that it is out of print and out of stock at the source.

From Loran C French's "Encyclopedia of Plate Varieties on U.S. Bureau-Printed Postage Stamps" (written in English).


(The "SH 8, 9, 17, WPG ... references where this variety has been written-up before.)

I think this was one for the ages: "the French book of Plate Varieties of US Stamps". My first thought was also why would such a book appear in France?

Bwahaha!!

Je suis un imbécile!

Merci! Je vais acheter le livre.

Thanks, folks! Glad to have provided the comic relief this afternoon

Wait...what about bacon??? I am not an auditory learner.

The thought that someone might think it in the French language was dismissed by me as being really unlikely. I will reevaluate. :-)

Very nice DT!

Thanks to you all for your input. The UL6 that you have shown seems like a close match but there appears to be discrepancies between the UL6 and this stamp. Maybe off same plate, but different location?

It's the same plate position, the differences are those between the actual stamp and a drawing of the stamp, plus possibly some plate wear differences.
