I am slowly trying to correctly identify and catalogue my early Usa stamps. I have used dudleys tool that 51studebaker added the link to in another post. Have I got this one right. Scott 23 Type IV ?.  |

I don't see any recuts.
It looks like a Ty II PL 2 B-relief.
That would make it #20. |

Thanks txstamp. I thought the lower line was recut. It looks thicker than the top, and on the dudleys tool picture, the lower uncut line looks thinner than my stamp. I originally identified this as a type II from my scott specialised, but changed my mind after using the tool. |

One useful thing to remember is the following - outside of Top Row Modified T relief stamps from PL 1L, there is no case where the bottom line is recut, but the top is not.
So if you have a Transfer roll #1 A or B relief, and you are sure that the top line is not recut, then the bottom one isn't either. |

dynamode, bottom line recuts are generally less obvious than top-line recuts, especially on stamps that have a strong impression such as yours. Always look at the top line first. And remember that the recuts, both top and bottom, only cover a portion of the frame lines, so if the entire frame line is of uniform thickness (such as your example), then it is not recut. |

May seem a daft question to you. When I am looking at the plated stamps on slingshotvenus, do I just check the relief B stamps, or do I look at them all ?. From the relief B stamps I have looked at, 29R2 looks a possibility. |

Ok thanks very much. My first attempt at plating. The information available here and online for Usa stamps is amazing. |

It looks like your first pick of 29R2 does look like a good match. I did not look at any other than 30R2. Neinken drawings are not very accurate there. Looks good to the Doporto copy. I do not have any copies of 29R2 in the database I am working on. Be sure to look at my guide dot charts and database. http://www.stampsmarter.com/feature...Plating.html |

Thanks txstamp and dudley for the fast replies, and for making my first attempt fairly easy. Jaxom100 if you need an unoptimised scan for your database let me know where to send it. |

Dynamode, send a 120 or 2400 dpi picture to my email. Let me know who you want it attributed to. Then I will post it when it I confirmed position. Thanks. |
