Both before and after.
| The Scott International Junior Stamp Album copyright 1943 has a few
| U.S. stamps that are marked differently from what we use today.
|
| For example, Scott #33 is actually Scott #11.
Originally, Scott started US with the provisionals numbered 1-27.
In 1940, they got their current 1x to 12x numbers.
Sometimes in 1944-1947 (don't have these volumes),
old 28/29 first general issues were moved to current 1-4.
In 1948, 30-54H moved to 5-46
| Scott #214 is actually Scott #212.
In 1952, 212, 213, and 214 were rotated to become 213,214,212.
| Not sure how many others might be wrong!
Not wrong, just different, based on new info and fashions.
There were several changes a years at least thru early 50s,
and even occasionally today.
| Thanks for any help.
You are welcome.
I have a number of relevant S. Specialized.
This was my first chance/call to realy use them ;-).
