One Last One - I Promise

Hi guys..Take a look at this New Zealand stamp..Does it have plate errors...???

Robert










And why on this stamp are there BROWN...ORANGE and BLUE cancels..?

Unknown by me.
Usually RED and BLUE wax crayon indicate use on a Registered cover.
However, your scratch cancel suggests Fiscal use.

The brown, is actually India (Black) Ink scratch cancel, that has faded.

The only other wax crayon lines , that come to mind, are on Canadian bank Cheques.


First query:
Guess.
Try googling "Wiper Blade Flaw" or "Doctor Blade Flaw"

You have been granted additional ones.

Very funny angore! And true!

Robert, I agree with Rod. On both stamps. But on the first stamp, besides the straight line on the upper left I see a lot of scratches that really look more like scratches ( third picture ) or maybe even a plate crack ( fourth picture ). All in all a very interesting stamp. By the way, the line that Rod thinks is a doctor blade or a wiper blade looks more like a layout marker line!
And this one last one nonsense - that is just for now, right?

Wow! spot on.

Comprehensive illustrated listing of plate flaws for this NZ issue is given in Campbell Patterson catalog, which I highly recommend (with the exception that their stamp values are, of course, from the fantasy land — they are dealers).
