Penny Red Big Collection For Study

@Geoffha yes that may be right I will checked the possibility of it.

@Wilding mad , what you say is right but I also need to sort the way others understand so I need to say something to check if I understand you right you mean to seperate england cancels from inland cancels and london suburban canceles did what I understand right and that what you mean.

yes mottaz I think you understand what I am suggesting. WM

Thanks dear Wilding mad , a few days I will sort the rest of them still got some penny stars perforated and few others I will finish and add here.

Hi Mottaz,

The postmark with 'THAMES' is numeral 422 Kingston On Thames.

The Irish postmark is a 186 of Dublin.

The Belfast cancellation is probably a duplex. Generally, duplex cancellations were only issued to larger offices.

The CX/7 is Charing Cross, a London branch office.

The 114 is Scottish and belongs to Dundee.

The B4? cancel could be one of a number of offices. The lettering is ON rather than NO.

Please see the link on page 1 of this thread that Wilding mad suggested. That website is the best resource available for numeral cancellations, and in my opinion is one of the best philatelic online resources available.

However, if you prefer books, seek out a copy of British Post Office Numbers 1844-1906 by Brumell.

Hope this info helps

@Bobby De La Rue thanks for it is a great help, yes I will look at this site nearly also yes I like books but for all categories of stamps for all countries I need a public library also I need to own a bank also I hope I can achieve nearly, nothing is impossible.

Yes, you'll need to own a bank, and live to about 5000 years of age!!

@Bobby De La Rue yes you make me remember ,i forget that I need to live 5000 years may be more and thats the problem I love physics, chemistry, biology, mathematics and I got a high level in them even I have some research in physics and math, I love electronics and design of electronic circuits I have many paper books and got about 10000 thousand pdf book some times I feel all of this is hopeless because I cant achieve what I want because of factor of time which is unsolvable , but I leave that behind and go on.any how I can read a book of 300 page a day and got adequate understand but this need a complete life for reading only.

To whom how concern , and every one share in replies ,who can help how to distinguish plate 225 by its characteristics not just by plate number also the same for plate 125 as I work on a stamp it either 125 or 225 with the great percentage to be 225 I made the best with scans but I need to complete with the characteristics of different plates ,thanks in advance.And I will upload all scans within a day to make a discussion about.

Hello every one this stamp what make me asked for plate 225 and 125 characteristics as this is 4 sure 3 digits plate number and the last two are 25 so the first digit is only 1 or 2 my eye and scans show trace of digit 2 to be plate 225 so I need to be sure I will send different scans for it and need your opinion.

Those for comparing form of number of the plate 225

Good morning mottaz,
I have done a sideways adjustment on the stamp you think is plate 225, and some close-up shots so as to get a better picture.



The only discernible number is the last one being a 5.
Unable to confirm your claim ! WM

@ Wilding mad I do as you done I got many scans and what I get as you say the last is 5 there is previous one hard to catch in scans I see by magnifying lens x15 ther is trace of the digit 2 but the first digit cant identify by any way thats why I asked for characteristics of plate 225 and 125 as this is the only possibility for this stamp, its for me a practical material for learning more.either wise I forget that stamp according to factor of losing time.

There is the last items I sort I will add today to check there is something of interest to care about.

I just got a question is there any book or online source like the book of "Fisher-Brown" but cover the plates of penny red 1864.

Good afternoon mottaz,

One of the better-known specialists of the penny red line engraved issues is Tim Clarke.

Here is a link based on his knowledge and findings
