France Blanc Of 1900 No. 111-H Vert Sur Fond Jaune

hello the mentioned stamp is known on yellow background. I see different versions, which is the real one :) ? Is the yellow all over the paper or only inside the design?

here two examples:

https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/0KEA.../s-l1600.jpg

Probably it should look like the first link?
But both don't look like the one here in the auction catalogue, image no. 614
https://stampauctionnetwork.com/le/cat35.pdf

But this image quality is too bad to see anything :)
so anybody ever seen an example in real life or online?

Both look very suspicious. Below listing suggest the paper has a straw-yellow colour. The two you link to look like someone has been creative with crayons.




See lot 918:

Your auction link appears to coincide with the listing I posted above.

An error occured during the 1906 printing when some sheets were printed by accident on light yellowish paper which was used for the 1906 1F Tax stamp of New Caledonia. It's Rare.
If genuine.

thank you very much both!
perf12, is it this stamp, or which tax stamp?

and: "sur fond" I would understand like some background color printing, but you say the whole paper is yellowish, correct? (but only the front or also the back?)

I myself actually don't have any yellowish stamp just saw the listings and wondered :)

The whole paper should be yellowish. Both ebay offers show fakes. Behr is a reputable house (I am a client) and its offering appears genuine.

Source: Spink-Maury Catalogue, 2018, pp. 192-193.

Also, the "H" in the subject line of this thread is incorrect. It appears to be a misreading of Roman numeral IA or IIA in the catalogues. Spink Maury denotes this stamp as 111B, 5c vert bleu type IA, subtype d.

Behr also identifies it as Yvert 111h and mentions the type IA.

Aha. Great. Thanks for that.

thank you, interesting. Yes the stamp is called 111h, this is the listing from Yvert & Tellier, Timbres de France. But their listing, on the other hand, has then a wrong description in my opinion, but I am not French - "sur fond jaune" does not sound like "sur papier jaune" to me :).

How is it called in Maury, the yellow, also "fond" ? or is there more explained about the paper?

By the way I am glad to have asked here, because I see very very often this stamp issue and the 5c, and when the paper is yellow this is a lot easier to detect (many stamps seem to have yellowish background on the front).

This would need an expert, but the picture for lot 614 from your own link appears like the paper has a yellow surfacing but is not yellow itself. There appears to be an unsurfaced bar below the green line.

yes, this is exactly why I thought it might be more a yellow background printing which also would match the listing description in Yvert as "sur fond".

"Fond" is base or foundation, the term is most typically used for the browned particles remaining in the pan after frying meat- these form the basis for a sauce.

The whole paper is yellowish. Behr genuine example:

Correction The New Caledonia Tax 1906 stamps is this:

thank you very much!
Yes many "rare" stamps there :).
So I will make my notes that the paper is yellowish just as seen in the Behr example. But still would be better in French as "sur papier jaune", n'est-ce pas?

Yes, masses of fake British Official overprints.
