We have a rare talent in our Don, I have not seen anything like it in my years of the hobby.
Just absolutely awe inspiring.

That's regarding a Stamp Forum offering, of course we have other great weblinks,
as Postmaster's germanstamps.net and the romaniastamps site, that I know of in my collecting sphere.
The modern stamp collector has so much online help at hand .

Perhaps similar to US Green Stamps?

Wonderful!
Thank you Derwins...............

The "Piquage Susse" utilised a machine invented by the Susse brothers to perforate Second Empire imperforated stamps. The machine was later purchased by Arthur Maury, who also put it to use, hence the desirability of having examples on cover or large piece. I have two examples, of uncertain legitimacy. The 20c is, in any case, largely held together by its hinge. The 40c is in better shape, and has a mark to the base of the piece.

And can anyone help with this cancellation/marking on Yvert 62, please?

Hi Geoff,

It looks like a newspaper cancellation.

There's an example shown as "Annulation typographique des journaux" in Maury under "Cachets des imprimés".

It's a newspaper use of these stamps.The stamps were stuck on the paper before the
printing and printed over.They come in thousands of varieties..

Excellent! Thank you both very much.

Fascinating, not seen those prior, thanks Geoff.

The "Piquage Susse" is perfed 7 1/2 x 7..

Made up a cheap and cheerful piece of decoration ...

That's what we like to see,
Good to see the scanner in action.

The French appear to have liked an abundance of selvedge with their issues.

That's the camera on the iPad, not the scanner. And it was the right way up when I'd finished resizing it! I have David's A Marat - the pieta of the left - on my study wall.
