I have several of these, and love the beautiful engraving on this 100+ year old stamp. Please help identify the Plate number of this imprint block of 8. This is Scott 17, ACSC BW 59. There are 4 possibilities, as this was printed in 4 different plates. ACSC states, "The imprints were hand-engraved and differences therefore occur in the lettering of each imprint, which enables the imprints from different plates to be identified."
I think it is Plate 3, which has no listed varieties in the group.


There is only one stamp with a hint of any type of re-entry. That is the top row, 3rd stamp, shown here. There is a light vertical line down the right side that may help plate this one.

Any help would be appreciated.
