Scott 1499A -Christmasn Stamp- Looks Like Double Print..?

Found this stamp on paper is a old box stored away.
Looked at it and compared it to 6 other stamps.

Looks very much like a DOUBLE print variety..???
What do you guys think, unless I am missing some thing.

All pictures, normal stamp on left and mine on right.
If I am wrong, let me know.

Looks like the different plates did not cover quite right

Hi Peter

This stamp printed by CBN used 7 lithographed colours.

I get what you are saying...But why use {if it was} the same black plate twice to cause the affect of double print..??

I see 2 peaks in the Bishops hat and what appears to be a double cross affect as shown below.


Still open to all opinions..Thanks.

I do not have a copy of this stamp but a couple of points.

The text at the bottom of the stamp appears sharp on both examples. I assume that this text was printed by a black plate. If it was a double print would not this text also be blurred. Can you post an enlargement of the bottom of both stamps ?

Perhaps the black lines that you show are normally printed by overlaying red and blue and this is just a shift of one of the colours.

Hi AQ




That does make sense...BTW..Bottom words are not doubled.
Must be bad shifting..But, a keeper.
