I don't recall seeing many Irish stamps with perfins over the years - does anyone have some to show off? This is the only one I have. The pattern seems to be DC reversed.  |

Perfin.
DC = Dublin Corporation.
Source: The Perfins of Ireland by M. Leonard, and Miss N. Wright.
Puncture format not listed.
The punctures are reversed indicating the stamp sheet was folded during the perforation, giving 4 possible layouts.

When you arise, Nigel,
consider?
Perhaps your TB is a British Perfin used in Ireland?
Sleep tight.

Hi, Here's my T.B perfin:  It looks just like the example in Rod's scan. This is how it looks from the front:  The postmark is the slogan: BUY / IRISH / GOODSI've seen an example of this used in Dublin in 1926. Rod, I had a look my old Tomkins catalogue but there were no T.B perfins listed. |

Nigel, that's it, T.B aka 7.1.13 slanted. Reading between the lines, I expect it to be T.Brown & Co Dublin. The secret may lie in the following commentary. Miss Norah Wright knows most of the perfins, but does not list ID, until proven on cover. The T.B may be one that has not turned up as yet.  |

I've seen an example of this used in Dublin in 1926. Yep, looks like a "Wavy Line" slogan, example 1930 (not mine, ownership unknown)  Straight lines 1941  |
