Hello everyone ! I just bought this Penny Red and I did a lot of research about from which plate it could be. I know that it can be a plate between 1 and 45. Like I said, I did a lot of research and I still don't know from which plate it is. Could an expert tell me from which plate it is ? Thanks, CS

Thanks ! But I asked this because I didn't find a plate that was looking like mine, but I already have some references to plate them. I was only wondering if an expert could be better to find the exact plate number in checking the check letters. I thought that that was plate 9, but the letters were not exactly placed like mine. Image of plate 9 example :  But as you can see, that's not exactly looking like the same |

Did you take measurements to use in the GBPS plating tool? You have a huge advantage in finding the answer because you have the stamp(s) in hand. Right? |

I'll learn about this system and I'll tell you this. When you see the picture of the plate 9, is there possibilities that my stamp is this one ? |

I looked images of all the first plates (except some plates between 1 and 10 because I didn't find images of them) in using the websites that Bobby de la rue and you gave me in the post : what reference do you use to plate Penny Reds, and I saw that plate 9 was the most plausible because of the centering of the letters. But unfortunately, that wasn't looking EXACTLY like mine, and I concluded that it's not plate 9 (probably). But I'm still not sure.  |

GBPS has every plate and great tools to measure letter placement to narrow the choices down. I have said this now more than once. No offense, but the teaching to fish part is done, now you need to fish.  |

but wait, Bobby de la rue, it's still missing plate 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, and 8. Maybe that my penny red is one of these, but I can't know because there's no images of lefto rightg of these plates.  |
