When The Modern Shift Hits The Fan

The one with the wrong plate for one color would have been real interesting. Do you recall which two different stamp designs it was?

Eyeonwall,

Sorry I do not remember. I am just glad that I did not produce a lot of waist. The powers that be would not have been happy.

If I am correct in my memory they were 29c stamps.

I do remember a few that are collected today. I was not the only one that printed them others did as well on different shifts or different times. We would print so many and change over to a different one that may have been in short supply. When we were done and had some free time on the production board. We printed nondenominational stamps like the A,B, C ect... we would print money orders or USPS forms. So they were a lot to do. We always had something to do very little downtime.

Sometimes we had to take down a press for repairs or maintenance. This would increase the work load on other presses.
