Here Is A Kinda Neat Find.

Always interesting wert
from Spain.....René

Interesting.

When you have as many of these as you now have, one can really start making interesting en-masse observations that really can't be made with just one or two stamps.

Thanks txstamp..I WILL keep looking.

Rene..Enjoy Spain and be safe.

Speaking of looking further..I grabbed another envelope with 500 Scott 0269c O.H.M.S.stamps.

1 - 2 stamps were printed correctly with the reading on the front of the stamp with respect to O.H.M.S.

2- 498 stamps were printed upside down with the respect to the front of the stamp.

3 - to me this concludes that 0.40% of these stamps were printed upside down.

I have lightened up the bottom set to see the perfin better.

Here is what I found analyzing 500 O.H.M.S. Scott 0286F perfins.

1 - 487 stamps were normal O.H.M.S. position on these stamps
2 - 3 were reversed.
3 - Found 0.60% of stamps had reversed perfin.

Below are the stamps I am talking about and again I lightened up the bottom stamps to see the pefins better.

Here is an interesting find..look at these 5 stamps I picked randomly.
Scott..
0270a
0233e
0231f
0255e
and
0251f

You will notice the SAME perforation machine/wheel was used for each of these runs..Broken "S" (S2)..Bet everyone thought these wheels would have been changed at the beginning of each run.See pictures below...See pictures below..




Also I have always thought different size pins were used...Here is a pair of0251f O.H.M.S. stamps..Using a blow up of the perfins and a simple screen ruler, you can see the one on the left measures 135 and the stamp on the right measures 113..Quite a difference in pin holes...Makes one think.

Nice find Robert !

René

Also when you have access to as many O.H.M.S. stamps of the same Scott number, you find different finds you can not get with just a few stamps.

I just showed 35 Scott 0269c OH.M.S. stamps...Look at the margins...Looks like they came from the same sheet/run.
