C7: Lundy is in the Bristol Channel, here
http://www.streetmap.co.uk/streetmap...144767&A=Y&Z=9
(zoom in for a better view). The stamps are used to pay for transport
of mail to the mainland where it enters the GB postal system, for
which normal GB stamps must also be applied.

C10: This is a GB revenue of 1881 required to pay tax on bank drafts
for transferring money overseas. No 113 in the Barefoot GB Revenue
catalogue.

Just a comment on your site: It would help if you scanned the stamps
with higher resolution to make it easier for us to read the markings.

You may find it interesting to look at these two sites which have
loads of mystery stamps: http://www.raster.it/stefano/a/galleries.htm
and http://home.att.net/~RickScott/Unide...d/Unident.html They
haven't been updated for a long time, though.

Please note that stamps Nr Yvert 1 to 8 are with "gomme économisée"
(I imagine this means that the gum is quite scarce)

I remember once reading when gum arabic was scarce
the gum was applied in a hatch formation, similar looking
to your 15c quadrille wmk.
I wonder if that applies to these issues?


Hi Rod,

I remember also having seen this kind of gum apparently applied through
a screen (hatch) ; I forgot on which stamp :-((

In that case the pace was very narrow (may be a 5th of a millimeter)
compared to the pace of the grid watermark in the French Peace and
Commerce stamp (about 5 millimeters - 10 times more)

This is the first time I was reading something on this "gomme
économisée".
I will ask on the French speaking philately news-group if somebody is
aware of it.

Bonjour Pierre.

There was a lot on ebay some months ago which made reference to striped gum
or something like that, but unfortunately I don't remember any of the
details to be able to go back and search.

As far as the French version is concerned, we used to use the expression
"gomme damierée" in the mid 90s referring to checkerboard adhesive
machine-applied to the back of photos to be attached to our departmental
identification cards. However, I have never heard the expression "gomme
économisée".

Hello Chris,

I had the same opinion than yours ; then I discovered that when clicking
on any stamp, a new window opens with a pretty good resolution.
Have you tried that ?

Ah, yes, you're right. I now see he says that at the top of the page.
Catalogue blindness seems to apply to web pages too!

Hello people

It's about time I had a personal website, especially for stamp stuff.
So far only ID questions and a link page.
Could you take a quick look athttp://www.jandoggen.org/Stamps/StampIdentify.htmand see if anything is
familiar? I'm always surprised at the combined knowledge that is present in
this NG ;-)

Feel free to contribute anything to the links page if you like.
My intention is to have this be a resource for others; why else make it
public?

Bye,
and thanks in advance.

C6 is a Swedish documentary revenue stamp, used from 1895 to 1968 whem
a new issue of different design was released. Values went from 5ore to
25000Kr and maybe higher. Wavy line watermark with 3 different
perforations: 11, 12.5 or 13.

C7 - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lundy
an island in the Bristol Channel, not the English Channel.

Unless it has moved in recent storms...;-)
