NSK, Yes, I did!  The fourth time was a charm. What Alberto Diena was doing expertising an Irish stamp, I don't know. His specialty is early Italy. Nevertheless, the measurements were accurate.   Dan  |

Experienced stamps need a home too. I'd rather have an example that is imperfect than no example.
I collect for enjoyment, not investment.

 Congrats! I just learned this issue has a setting variety: the R of Rialtas is set to the left over the S of Sealadac. It occurs in position 10/2 of the sheet. I do not know if it occurs in other positions. Hint: look at your 2/6 stamp. |

NSK, Thank you for the information! I will have to add that note to my album. You mentioned that it is on position 10/2 of the sheet. If someone is plating this variety and wants to examine my copy, PM me. I would be happy to send detailed scans. Thanks! Dan |

The Marquess of Bute's collection included a set with bottom margins showing parts of the sheet-centre cross on the right-hand side of the margin. This identifies all three stamps as being from position 38 (R.10/2). All three stamps have this variety. It is constant at least for this position. |

Concerning SOAR stamps: both the Hibernian 2020 and S.Gibbons 2019 Ireland catalogues have sections on machine labels/stamps. A search here on 'soar' will produce some helpful blogs. |

Rod, what is the perforation gauge and watermark? An s in a Gaelic e, or just an e (Saorstat Eirreann, or Eire).
You might be looking at a 1968 issue. |

Boy, I really messed up there, apologise for not giving all the details. Perf 15 Horizontally. Wmk Sc Type #262 = Oval E I could not find any Sc# Type A2 in 1968 I guess, if genuine, then Sc# 105 (1946) Coil Thanks for the prod, NSK, I didn't look past 1933 (And Heaven forbid, I did not test for Wmk  ) |

Hibernian lists it after the 1968 high values, but it appears these date from the 1940s. Hibernian is not always clear. Oddly, Roy uses 1946 on his website. Based on the site that should not be mentioned here 1946, Scott #105 is the candidate I was thinking of. Looks fine: http://hibernian-news.eu/product_in...oducts_id=71Top and bottom perfs are not shortish as is common for one of them if from booklets. |

Right, NSK, thanks for you time and knowledge.
I did think the edges looked genuine (not cut by scissors or scalpel)
but then I saw what looked liked dents, and I became suspicious.

This thread is one reason that I am on the SCF. After a couple of months or so away I dug back in to my Ireland collection today and have spent the last two hours reading all of the pages and associated blogs. It's exciting to get back into the material. Thanks to all. Greg |
