Another Peg From Patiala

ok boys have another swish of your favorite drink and then lets see if you can catch an error here. this one is way harder than the last one :)

now who will want to collect uglies when youc an get these right?

1. the top left, The "T" in Patiala is the incorrect font size

Don't see it in Gibbons...? Am I just missing it?

I don't want to be a party-pooper, well, alright, yes I do: the 'T' is just due to broken type. Gibbons notes the existence of such things, but doesn't list them.

Here are a couple more from Patiala:

I don't know what rate this might have been paying, but it just might conceivably have been a genuine commercial use:



The 3 rulers: SG 22, SG 39 and SG 64

And this block, which someone else has separated and stuck back together clumsily with hinges:



the 1885 2 Anna overprinted SERVICE double, one inverted, SG O7a

you had to look at the stamps and not gibbons CJD :)

but the rod has got it.


It is the short T variety in patiala.

CJD,

do you think I can mark you down as a convert for india stamps. :)

What do I win Spocky?

bragging rights :)

you know something that even tony does not :)

I can see the stamp...I also know not to trust what I see when it comes to British India overprints. Apparently, any number of people have read Printing Press Fun for Dummies over the years.

I understand that Gibbons doesn't know everything, but it is the first (easy) place to look...

spock, if you mean post-Empire India, you'll have to keep working on conversion. But I've been a fan of British India for a long time.

oh well at least we have that recoded that you are a fan. I am doing good now
