Tin Shed Flaw (?) On 1d KGV.

Wondering if missing perfs left of 3 caused stamps appearance when separated from adjoining stamp due to gum.
Members opinion appreciated.

Did the front slide off the backing? Could we see a picture of the backside, please?

Louise... Yes, anything unusual is Scanned then put away.....finding a stamp, occasionally, takes more time than Noah's Ark was built so to speak. P.S. Stamp is still attached to part envelope.

Opinion.
Normal stamp, detritus still attached RHS, LHS missing perfs due to prev owner ripping from the cover.

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought Tin Shed flaws were caused by gum being transferred on the faces of stamp sheets, and are typically revealed when stamps are soaked by collectors. This is obviously unsoaked and is probably out of the Tin Shed period besides.

Inconstant flaws can still happen otherwise. The area of concern is probably as indicated:

However, based on the dirt smudge above it, it might be just scuffed/abraded there before cancelling. That seems to be true for the area where the perfs were pulled off. Holding it at a low angle to the light would tell you if that is so or not.

Basically all stamps that have flaws that are not constant printing flaws are "Tin Sheds".

The term "Tin Shed" covers a lot of ground!

Some try to limit what a "Tin Shed" describes.

I am not one of them!

If this is correct why is there a G & a 3 being part of the postmark on the area of the stamp in question? It had to be damaged/Tin Shed before being attached to the envelop.

Well if you make a statement "it had to be" why ask a question?
You already have a fixed view.
Whatever I may reply would be futile.

John,
all is cool. Gives us an instance where we can reflect on our speech.

It may well be a "Tin Shed"
however,
1. poor scan ( appraise a diamond ring from 10 feet away)
2. What if two stamps were caught together by tacky gum, before being separated ?
3. Generally found on rough paper, ours look smooth.
4. The were called Tin Shed flaws in reference to the primitive conditions under which the stamp were printed. The Tin Shed was the King's Warehouse, Flinders Street Extension, Melbourne, where the Commonwealth Stamp Printer was located.
These varieties mostly occur on smooth paper 1d Reds of 1917-18 (poor wartime paper), though they do crop up on other values.

My opinion remains, but happy to apologise if I see a certificate.

Just a point for us all, to try and always allow for differing opinions.




An obvious example from my collection.... Tin Shed ?...I think not.

No worries Rod.

Yeh! Could have put it in better way looking at it now. Sorry mate!

But I do believe also that this stamp has been damaged when being taken from the envelop make even harder to get a handle on it.




Am using "Basically" to cover examples like yours. But so many flaws came from paper bits and pieces stopping the print from the stamp's surface as well etc.
