Newfoundland - Two Nice Offsets

Hi guys...Ya, ya, still looking through my NFLD stock book and came across 2 nice offsets that I thought I would post...Scott 260i (N.S.S.C. #264a) and Scott 262i (N.S.S.C. #248a)

Hey Wert, sorry to pop your bubble, I believe the 260 Salmon stamp is not an offset, but more of a thin type paper. Most offsets occur when the printed side of the sheet is placed under the gum side of the sheet above during printing. Basically the ink transfers to the gum.

As for the 262 Seal stamp, I believe that is some type of Aniline ink that has seeped through. I also have a copy of that. See my attached photos and other goodies.

they are
255 Reverse offset Red 3c
261 Pelure paper, showing design from back of stamp Black Dog 14c
262 A Copy of the Aniline ink type you are showing 15c rose violet
262i Reverse offset with pre printing crease 15c rose violet
263 Reverse offset 20c green
269 Reverse offset 4c blue

trodent - That's a nice primer on offsets and what to look for. Very useful. Thanks.

I wasn't going to say anything, but the margins matched exactly on Roberts two stamp. This indicted to me that these were a case of 'see-thru' stamps. With setoff stamp this would not commonly happen unless the wet stamps were placed in exactly the same position when stacked. (Many of us use the term 'setoff' instead of 'offset' to avoid confusion with the printing method of the same name).

Great Newfoundland sharing!

I concur with Don et al--these are "setoff" or "see through"

Also--not Aniline ink : there are only a few rare stamps that used that, and I've previously posted #270 examples side by side

Tommy.. Aniline ink....I have a hard time recognizing..

I found this offset last night mounting my latest group.
It is a full half stamp off.
