Captain Stamp - It is actually perforated, but the perforation holes are lined up right on the top edge of the lower row of stamps, so they are hard to see unless you zoom in. |

Chile 1940 Stamps issued in 1940 commemorating the 50th anniversary (1888-1938) of the incorporation of Easter Island into the national territory. They were issued in sheets of 30 that included the two stamps as shown in the image.  |

Littleriverphil, Your Byrd pane is Scott 733. To be provable as 753, it would have to have stamps with the guide line running between them. There was a thread several months ago which debunked the idea that the guidelines were added between the printings of 733 and 753. The guidelines were on the original 733 plate from the beginning. Scott could be cleaerer on this. A nice pane, but not 753. The example I used before was this registered cover with a strip containing the guideline at bottom, but postmarked in March 1934, a full year before the 753 special printing was released.    |

Really nice, everyone! I don't think we often see used complete panes on cover! Thanks for sharing, all. |

Here is a strip of four representing the last hurrah of the private perforation era for US stamps. These are the 1923 Harding memorial issue flat plate printed, imperforate Sc. 611 in a coil format with private Schermack type III perfs. Only Mail-O-Meter (which had taken over the Schermack operation) produced any private perf coils from this issue, and that was it. No more.  There is a paste-up between the 2nd and 3rd stamp which testifies to the production process. It's visible from the front view, quite evident from the back. ex-Getlan.  |

Nope,your eyes are not deceiving you, Continental BNC was a bit rushed during the early summer of 1875, Produce 92 face different Official stamps, AND produce all of Special Printings, Have 'em ready by July!
