Here is a stamp I have and wish some help with its' identification. I believe it is a type 1 as it has a top and bottom frame line.Also the C in cents is somewhat disturbed, might that be one of the Gents versions. Any information offered would be appreciated. Thanks  and here is another image with an interesting blue cancel.  javascript:insertsmilie('  ') |

I know the perfs are a bit off Chipshot, but the second stamp with the blue cancel is a fine looking stamp!
Type 1, I agree Sinclair no inner framelines

Here is another I wish to qualify if someone would be so kind. I think it might be a 25A with the inner frame lines recut and I tried to get the color real close, might it be Dull Red?  Any comments are appreciated and I understand due to all of the variations in scanners, adjustments and monitors asking for an opinion on color is likely fruitless. Thanks all! |

Chip, Yes, that's a very nice #25A with what looks like one or two lines recut in the upper left triangle. |

John Becker - have you tried to plate this? All you gotta do is figure out the plate #, and it look like you might even have a muniscule part of the # at LL. I am trying to figure the cancel - my guess is (Terre) Haute, LA, but the remnant of a letter at B doesn't look like an 'A' or 'a'. Maybe 'D' in (PAI)D?? I don't know the layout of a Terre Haute cds. |

No, I have not tried to plate it. I have little interest in plating. The CDS is Terre Haute. Ind. |

I have pulled that issue of the Chronicle off the shelf for bedtime reading tonight.
Add: based on the location of the imprint to the stamp, it matches up with plate 9 extremely well, and plate 15 as first alternate. A very useful article! |

A very useful article! John, agreed. It was a bit intimidating, for me at first, but after a couple of runs through it.., it clicked. |

Seems difficult to find a 25 or 26 that's well or decently centered, without the perforations digging into the label blocks or frame lines. Here's a 26 that's decently centered.  |
