I found a stamp ( Zumstein 83) with 1 side unperforated. the stamp itself has no value at all. But I never saw before such a particularity on these kinds of swiss stamp. Do you think that it can be special with any value?
PS : I didn't found something in the catalogue about that particularity.
Looks like it could be the lower right stamp from a booklet pane. The bottom edge appears cut too. The right may have been perforated, but when the sheet was cut into booklet panes, the cutter was not properly aligned with the perforation holes, thereby slicing them off.
The stamp can come from a booklet. Does somebody know in which direction are displayed the stamps in these booklets ( Nr 2 or 4 )-horizontally or vertically
In a booklet, for that kind of stamp, there is also and only the 5c (green)
My question is: Is it possible to have an unperforated side on the right hand for the 10c (red)like that one on the scan and on the top of the stamp for the 5c(green)? http://img911.imageshack.us/img911/8128/4sugnC.png
Priatel, there should not be any doubt if there is a bit of value to it. Of course there is - the card was postally used and cancelled. Just don't soak the stamp off, then it would be worthless in my opinion!
It was, and still is not uncommon for people to separate stamps from a sheet by use of scissors. Often, perforations are ignored and the stamps become damaged. That appears to be the case here.
The fist swiss booklets have been produced in 1904. The mentioned stamp is issuing from one of the first booklets. The cut was not properly aligned with the perforation. This is not common, but only collected from specialists.
