Thank you Stampcrow.
I have been soaking up as much of the info as I can, as fast as I can. Never too old to learn something new. Keeps the brain active. I have bookmarked the links you gave (as I always do). I found those Chase prints before and had downloaded them already. Just did not know what use they could be. I have a bad habit of making copies of and/or downloading any info that I can find.

I appreciate the knowledge you guys are sharing.

Jaxom100, each of the plates can be identified by general characteristics, as detailed on the first of the set of three links I posted earlier. I was able to quickly narrow your stamp down to either plate 6 or 7 (400 positions) this way. Then it took just a few minutes to find a matching guide dot (out of 144 lower-right guide dot positions) on the Chase prints for plates 6 and 7. This process of elimination quickly led to one position out of 2600 total 3-cent imperforate positions. Most stamps are much more difficult to plate.

I really appreciate your help CC.
I have been looking at the third stamp in that group. Figuring that the large right border indicates a margin position, one recut line at top right triangle, two inside lines, I came up with position 100R0......???

You're quite welcome, jaxom100.

I don't see any lines recut in any of the triangles of your third stamp. The color has no orange in it, so it can't be a #10A.

The first and third stamps in your group were printed from either plate 2L or 3, so both are confirmed as #11A. Both have two inner frame lines and one horizontal line recut at the top of the upper-right diamond block.

Here is an example of a stamp with three lines recut in the upper left triangle (49R1L) to illustrate what the triangle recuts can look like:

Well, I could not find any listed with right inside line extending too high. They have the other three conditions for the inside lines. Here is the corner that should plate this one.

Hello,

concerning the recutting of the upper left triangle, is this what you would call a recut at a worn plate?

just ask to add another examples for this recutting area there.

jaxom100,

The right inner frame line running up to far in your closeup image is a very helpful plating diagnostic.

Carroll Chase didn't consider a right inner frame line extending well beyond the typical end point--sometimes all the way to the upper right diamond block--to be a separate variety, like he did with the other three corners. For the upper right triangle, the table in his book specifies; "One vertical line re-cut in the upper right triangle (not continuous with the right inner line)."
