Hey WERT, looks like 2 different printings. Look at Torch flames on left hand side and Period of St. Johns. NFLD 153 and NFLD 169/179  Trodent |

Wow..So nice to get word back from Ralph at re-entries.com Quote:
Always nice to see a new re-entry on an issue unknown for re-entries!
Yes, I would appreciate 1200-2400dpi scans of this one! Robert |

Robert,
Just make sure you correctly identify the stamp for Ralph. Is it 153, 169 or 179? I see some definite differences, and it still could be common for one or the other. (I don't have any examples of mine to check, unfortunately.)
Good luck. |

Looking at the few I have the extra frame lines are present on #153. They are absent on #169 and #179. |

That is the problem I am having with the so called extra line...I give Ralph more credit than people have of him..He is NOT an armature and if he realizes it as a possible re-entry..good.
I as partime indicated that they are 2 different stamps, but I just wanted to show Ralph that (even if it is 2 different stamps) or where the extra lines are located...If you guys and Ralph say that is normal for a Scott 179 then good, I will withdraw my post...No problem.

I am thoroughly confused here. The stamp you show which you are showing with doubled lines is a #153. The title of your thread says a re-entry on #179. The stamp you are using to show a stamp without doubling is either a #169 or #179. Are you saying you have a #179 that shows the same doubled line that exists on #153?
By the way I have known Ralph Trimble for over 30 years. And shared stamps with him through the mail prior to it becoming easier to do with e-mail. I have great respect for my friend.

Mike..I am going to double check that right now..and ya, Ralph is a nice guy and has always treated me good to.
My mistake, the left stamp is a Scott 179 and the right stamp is a Scott 153.

No problems. Please make sure that Ralph knows. He and I had the same issue with a Great Britain stamp once. |
