I was reading this thread and happened to see the triple transfer. Here is my 91L1L:  |

sinclair2010 - I believe you. I couldn't find an example that looked like this, but because I didn't know better, I accepted without question Alan Cohen's description in the sale: "Bottom margin horizontal strip of three. Positions 91-93R1L. Relief "B". All three stamps are recut once at top. The left stamp with triple transfer, one inverted. The inverted transfer is so dramatic that it shows well into the bottom margin. ex Saadi. 1995 PFC"
I'm sure Alan Cohen isn't trying to mislead, so I wonder if he is referencing something less obvious in the bottom margin. |

rogdcam - Your example is very nice. Suddenly I'm not so enamored with the Saadi strip with a fingerprint. sinclair2010 spoiled it for me! #128521; |

A lot of the invert is in the left margin. Some remnants of inverted top ornaments are visible beneath the stamp, but on Saadi's stamp its mostly fingerprint that you are seeing. Here is the ex-Ishikawa copy that I used to own. It showed full left margin. If you blow up the scan you can see a bit of the invert. In person, I can tell you it was quite visible.  |

I don't have a good image of 91L1L handy, but this is a 71L1L that I sold on ebay. It has similar markings in the left margin as 81L1L and 91L1L. They do resemble fingerprints.  |

91-92-93L1L, bought on ebay in 2015. Any left-margin example of the triple transfers is highly desirable. I, for one, find the fingerprint example to be quite cool.  |

Anyone familiar with this example on what I assume is a Sc #26? There is a circle above the upper left rosette and marks here and there in the letters on top and the bottom of the stamp. This one does not show up in Chase's book.   |

Hawaii Scott #75 (1894 to 1899) has many dramatic double and triple transfers. The printing plate is believed to have been thicker than normal plates, and the worker had great difficulty aligning the transfer roller with the guide dot (normally in the W of HAWAII) because the space between the two was very narrow. Here is position LR1-1:   |
