Looking Back #14 - USA - Electric Eye Stamps on Thin Paper
Electric Eye Stamps on Thin Paper
Albert C. Butzen of Detroit, Mich., has shown me a block of four of a stamp from this printing on a paper considerably thinner than that in regular use and thinner than other sheets from the Electric Eye printings. The paper has a greater transparency and there is the possibility that the Bureau, when conducting experiments with perforation, also experimented some with paper. As a general rule, stamp paper at the Bureau is held to a very rigid standard and lapses such as the above are rather unusual. - George B. Sloane Sloane's Column Stamps May 25, 1935 Note: Scott recognized this by the following note after 634: "No. 634, Type I, exists on a thin, tough experimental paper." |
