Need Help In Identifying A 1930's? Albino 1 1/2c George Washington Stamped #10 Envelope.

I believe this to be U484, but not positive.

Thanks in advance. John

Looks like a nice clear embossing. Should be easy to measure. looks like white paper.

Per UPSS:
Die 132(A) Head large (9 1/4 mm from tip
of nose to back of head); left figure '1' tilts
to left; heavy lettering; all 'T's have shorter
tops (1½ mm).

Die 133(H2) Head small (8 3/4 to 9 mm from
tip of nose to back of head). Right figure '1'
tilts to right; fine lettering; all 'T's have long
tops (1¾ mm). Not used for window envelopes.

My take is that it is a U481 (U484 comes only in small size envelopes).

If OP would show us a scan of the reverse (or choose high back or low back) and identify the watermark, we could provide the exact UPSS number.

Thank you Thomas! Here is a scan of the back. I do not hav any watermark fluid on hand. Will get some. John

fluid not necessary......hold near strong light.......if possible open flap and spread slightly.

Staff, thanks for putting me in the right place.....again.

m and m, I did that and found the watermarks. here is a scan of a crude drawing. I only found a few on the entire envelope.

So, we have:

Die 132,
Size 23,
White paper,
Knife 106,
Not a window,
Gummed flap,
Watermark 41

UPSS# 2152-41
Scott# U481

ThomasGallaway, thank you so much. I will write all that good information down on a self stick piece of paper and put it on the slip that this envelope is in.

I do not collect envelopes but it's nice to take a blank piece of philatelic material and put a name to it.
