Hi guys..Here are a couple of stamps that I was wondering about..They are Scott 106avs, but I took a measurement of both stamps and they measure 17.5mm X 21.5mm as shown by picture below..Are they really Scott106av..?..Any opinion..?
They're not necessarily booklet stamps. Some sheets of the 2c carmine were printed as follows:
"Four hundred subjects arranged in twenty horizontal rows of twenty subjects, the printed sheet being divided into four post-office sheets by cuts between the tenth and eleventh vertical rows and between the tenth and eleventh horizontal rows...The cutting of the printed sheet in the manner described provided four post-office sheets of which one side and the top or the bottom had a straight or imperforate edge, with the result that each sheet contained nine stamps with one side imperforate, nine stamps with either the top or the bottom imperforate, and one stamp, from a corner of the sheet, with one side and either the top or the bottom imperforate." From Marler's The Admiral Issue of Canada
Sorry, I see what you're saying though now that I look at Unitrade more carefully. Being .2mm off on the width doesn't seem significant. What's the width of the image on a definite non-booklet 2c carmine?
So the width of a non-booklet 2c carmine is 17.5mm according to your micrometer? And Unitrade lists the width of 106avs as 17.7mm? What's the height of a non-booklet stamp? Horizontal wove paper should shrink vertically during the drying process if I'm not mistaken.
