Hi Petert4522.

Thanks for replying, but the question mark you added at the end..., is it by mistake or you're asking me? :)

I've seen stamps like these advertised as bearing plate numbers. I suspect that is the case.

The two red plate blocks above look like they are Stickney rotary press wet printed with color line between printing plates and Stickney bar and wheel perforated with large horizontal gum breaker lines, wavy line sheet cutter line and small vertical gum roller lines that comes along with gum that does not cover all of the stamp selvage from gum applied after wet printing.

1st- thanks a lot for your valuable input
2nd- I'm totally impressed wow!!
3ed- I thought I understand it but now I know I don't :-)
4th- I definitely believe that I will need to go through your message three or four times and very slowly, so to understand what exactly you wrote.

Thanks again

Robi, do not worry yourself too much - jogil is telling you about the technical aspects of printing the stamps.
The answer to your question was simply 'plate numbers'.

Peter,
I really do appreciate your valuable help with nearly all my posts, but the most important thing is your great approach. Please, accept my apologies for the misunderstanding on my side.
