Quote: Laurie, even though the right-side ornaments are partially cut away you can see that they are more complete than they would be on a #24. Also, the break in the top frame line is much smaller than is the case on #24. This is a Plate 4 C Relief, which as sinclair said produced both #21 and #22. Thanks Dudley, I missed out on this stamp unfortunately. With your assistance and also from the other posters/Oracles on this thread, I'm slowly learning what to look for. |

Quote: Need some help plating this stamp very recently received. Though listed as a Type V I am not convinced it is not a Va. Caper, you are correct that this is a bottom-row F Relief, but I do not believe it is a Type Va. I do not think the right-side ornaments (esp. Orn N) are as complete as the Doporto example. It is not from Plate 10 (the C in CENT does not have the characteristic mark of bottom-row Plate 10 stamps). I will take a closer look tomorrow. |

Dudley - As you indicated ornament N is less complete on mine. Assuming it is a bottom row stamp (which seems fairly clear) and the straight edge is where the left and right pane were trimmed (a bit of a guess) then that leave only 5 possibilities. From my review it is clearly not from plates 7,9,& 10 and it does not match better to 100L8. Soooo...
Thanks for your help in advance and anyone else's who wants to chime in! |

It is 97L8. There is a curl between ornaments P & Q that gives it away.
The copy at the 1c plating archive does show this. |

Those are some really nice covers, Ecostic! It's nice to see the interesting variety of advertisements. That Spruce Creek PA CDS is really neat! |

It looks like you've got a #25 on the paper dealers cover. I didn't look closely at all of the rest. |
