Quick question. Are these French stamps dated 1926? I was unsure. Also - the color seems a bit different in each - should I assume different types? Thank you for your help.
From 1999 Scott Classic Specialized; Printed from 1906 to 1937, in two types and a "ground under feet of figure." version. Type I: Numerals and letters of inscriptions thin. Type II: Numerals and letters thicker.
You can go into the weeds on Sowers. The simplified Yvert treatment isn't too bad for the 50c rouge, though. (50c reds weren't around for the entire run of Sowers.)
The basic Yvert listing has five types for the 50c, and a closed "c" variety.
The 50c red (lined background) was issued in 1926.Rotary printed Withdrawn starting 1928-1932. Perfed 14 x 13.5 5 different types mainly due to the printing technique.
If you can show a better clear pic of the 2nd stamp layed down flat?It may come from a booklet pane..
