Very true Don.. The weird glitch is some older stamps were used on recent covers..Like the one below, where a 1947 Queen Victoria stamp was used on a 1968 cover below...Not saying that is what happened, but it is possible...
I wasn't there over 100 years ago and neither were you...We just don't know what happened...It was just an idea...
I posted to find out maybe a colour {maybe with oxidation} and if it is heavy oxidation then why didn't the Scott F2 suffer the same transformation...Very strange.
The examples of obviously philatelic covers is not the same as your first commercial cover. Why would a commercial company have 20+ year old stamp sitting around? Seems pretty unlikely.
I understand what you are saying about the color, but sulphurization is notorious for orange stamps of this era so I would be suspect of any assumptions based upon color. Don
I know what you mean Don...I always respect you and others when I post some thing like this...I agree with you and others, 99%, but always leave that 1% open...haha
