hello. I need help finding info about this scalloped edge on this stamp. Everytime I "google" it, I get all kinds of craft info. Any guidance will be appreciated. thank you.
I don't know much about the scalloped edge; however, I caught the subject line and felt inclined to reply...coincidentally, on this day (Sep 06) in 1901 President William McKinley was shot twice while attending the Pan American Expo in Buffalo, NY. 8 days later he died from his wounds.
my husband with the history degree had not told me that today, so thank you. I have watched some things on the history channel about different former presidents and always find it very interesting (which is surprising, since it is hubby with the history degree)
While not the McKinley stamp, I happened to be sorting through some precancels and came across this Teddy Roosevelt example that shows the scalloped selvage similar to your initial scan. Apparently they were quite common in that day:
