I would say that "triptych" has a connotation of a design element using three panels. It is kind of an "art"-y term. Think of the old altarpieces with the center painting and two side paintings.
Unless it has taken on a specific philatelic meaning that I'm not aware of, I think it is more than just a strip of three stamps. (I would describe your example as a se-tenant strip of three.)
That's my three cents. Anyone else have a different view on it? |

Triptych is suggested to mean a strip of 3 stamps that make up a complete design, at least according to the Linn's Stamp News article posted earlier in this thread. In fact, even Wiki has referenced a similar meaning, also using as part of their reference the same Linn's Stamp News article, as well as a Stanley Gibbons publication reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triptych_(philately) |

I probably didn't tie my two sentences together well enough, but that definition would be pretty close to what I was meaning to say. |

That is a classic...there is also the 1954 booklet pane with the beavers and the se-tenant label, but I agree...not a se-tenant stamp |

Within 12 years after issue(1968) these unfolded 'Soil and Medical' gutter Se-tenants were selling for 300X face value. There were no Se-tenants on the left or right panes of 50 - only across the gutter.  |
