I wish I could do this myself. I tried working with Chase, staring at these stamps and basically failed. I guess if I'm going to learn this I'll need to attend a hands on class. Anyway, these appear to be a 10A, 11 and 11A and what looks like a double transfer on THREE of the third stamp. Anyone want to take a shot?

All three are 11A's. The third stamp doesn't have a DT that I can see.

I'm fine with all three being 11A but I do think there is a double transfer on the last one. Here is a close up that may help. Look at the upper right part of the T and the middle line of the first E. There is a clear doubling there.

Looking at these two places I see white spaces. A lack of ink. On an engraved stamp wouldn't a DT leave ink?

rlsny, the images, and my eyes, aren't good enough for me to help.

Does the middle stamp show recut variety #32? That is: Line Joins Upper Right Diamond Block to Right Frame Line.

Well these are the best scans I can get. To answer littleriverphil, in both places the ink is doubled with space between.
Thanks all for your comments.

OK. Sorry I can't help.

Are you able to see the line I mentioned in the middle stamp?

Is there a way to show an un-optimized image here? I tried imgur and SCF didn't like that? Are there any approved image upload sites?

I have to agree with those who believe there is NO dbl trsf on the 3rd stamp. Maybe some inking issue but no dbl trsf that I've seen before.

I'm definitely new to the world of double transfers and I'm going with the majority. Looks like just a bunch of plain old 11A stamps. Thanks for taking the time.
