A hexagonal-shaped stamp - BEAUTIFUL -- but I would expect it must be a perforation machine nightmare! I can't imagine how they did it back in the late 1800s on the Telegraph stamps. It's as interesting a detail as the stamps. It would be great if someone has information on how they perforated the hexagon issues in the 1800s.

Also, some of the geometric stamp issues on this thread are great! Thanks to everyone who has taken time to contribute,
