Afternoon,

I am requesting help in the identification of the pictured stamp. I am still new to the stamp collecting hobby and this one stamp is really throwing me for a loop. I apologize for not attaching a solid photo but this is the best I can do. I am really curious of the red line at the bottom of the stamp. Any feedback is greatly appreciated. Thanks a have a great day.

Tommy

The stamp itself is easy to catalog....
You jest need a close-up of the upper corner triangles....
and to know watermark or not.

Bottom line is easier.....it is called a straight edge.
It is a dividing line where the sheets were seperated.
Most collectors dislike this.
They prefer a stamp that is totally perforated.

It looks like your triangles in the upper corners are Type III. Now you have to find out if the stamp is Type III or Type IV and you can do that here...
