I do not find a listing in Scott for this stamp. Portugal 7˝ ˘ blue perf 15X14 regular paper with imprint. I'm guessing it will show up in a non Scott listing? A number and appx value would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Paul

My Scott catalog goes from 240A and skips to 243. I am using a 2014 version. Have later versions updated to include a 242?

I see a site that lists several catalogues. If it is correct there was a colour change in 1917 and that has nr. 242.
This also mentions a 1912 issue (nr. 214) in yellow-brown on chalky paper. Maybe it is listed under 1912 or in a footnote?
Apparently, the perforation then changed and that should be listed as nr. 271.

Start with my collection in the middle of frame 2, then look at each of the Ceres varieties. Scott really doesn't give enough depth to figure these out...

The two sets of perfd for this issue were long given short shift by Scotts. The mere merly listed in total with 12x11.5 and 15x14 perfs. It was nor unril the last few years that they added the separate printings that could be seen for years in Stanley Gibbons. This is true for issues in volonies also.
