You are right BeeSee
I have a #1 where you can hardly see the lines but when the stamp is soak in the watermark fluid, they appear quite clearly.
I do beleave this stamp will need a certificate unless somebody has something to say...
thanks for your "demo"

Looks like laid paper to me. Here's a couple of scans of the backs of a 31 and 33 to compare:   |

It looks like laid paper. You can do some initial tests by following the procedures they used when they examined my #32. Go to: http://www.greenefoundation.ca and read the report on #32. I would still submit the stamp for a certificate and information on doing so is posted there. |

Well Watermark, Koala, combining your newly acquired 33, plus Watermark 32 and my 31 (originally from the Bringham collection) we can organize a mini exhibit of a rare nature...one of only 3 such complete exhibits possible in the world....Should we set a date and a location to display it?  |
