Nothing special, merely images passing through the scanner,
just a tad curious. Jordan~ The Temple of Diana, cancelled at the PO at the Tower of David. http://cjoint.com/data/fDmuoZGpdr.htm Finally, something of beauty from Melbourne, (other than the AFL) http://cjoint.com/data/fDmwJl7i8v.htm I wonder what the "C" and "E" represent, under the value tablets? Have a nice weekend............... |

Have a nice weekend............... In the Old City of Jerusalem, the post office is a few steps from the Jaffa Gate, up past the Citadel of David and next to the gate of the Christ Church Anglican Hospice. Jerusalem - القدس الشريف : Omar Ibn Al-Khattab's Square inside Bab Al- Khalil (Jaffa Gate) and the Citadel enterance. The post office is on the left. http://www.palestineremembered.com/G...alem-11935.jpg The CE would be the engravers initials. (Possibly C. E. Doepler ?)

"Blair" The CE would be the engravers initials. (Possibly C. E. Doepler ?) Maybe we should ask Tony Antipodes to seek on Stampboards also the 5 shilling stamp duty and "JL" http://cjoint.com/data/fEabm5Ychj.htm Read mo http://www.frommers.com/destinations...xzz0Guu5XzJ7&B Thanks, (great pic of the Post Office) although I like to do my travel by stamps |

Thanks, (great pic of the Post Office) although I like to do my travel by stamps Could the JL and CE possibly be control letters, such as the corner letters on the GB Queen Victoria penny reds? If so, they could indicate plate position of each stamp. Blair |

I think not Blair, on the first stamp the letters are too small on the 5s too large I think it must be the engraver's initials. Then I thought perhaps a code for use as these GB imprint revenues. http://cjoint.com/data/fEflZjAT7G.htm F,K,A, and MS I have only just started to get a few revenues in my Phossick boxes I know nothing about them. They are very attractive stamps. Rodney. "Blair" Could the JL and CE possibly be control letters, such as the corner letters on the GB Queen Victoria penny reds? If so, they could indicate plate position of each stamp. Blair |

Gibbons says the 1d of this set was engraved by C. Jackson and J.
Lang; the 5/- was engraved by Jackson and 'other employees of Sands & MacDougall' - maybe the source of the 'L'. Jackson and Lang seem to have worked on several of the fiscals. I can see a 'JL' in the illustrations of the 1/- and 2/- in Gibbons. Doesn't explain the 'CE' - perhaps he was (or they were) another of the anonymous Sands & MacDougall staff. As for Stampboards, why not join up yourself? I won't give away your guilty secret ... if you make it worth my while.

....not as long as my bottom points South.
Thanks for the great info Tony, it had not occurred to me to look into Gibbons, re interchangeable etc. 10 points off for me, my memory chip needs upgrading. BTW these Vic stamps are beautiful, and a very pretty price too. it seems however "condition" is not that important. "Asia-translation" As for Stampboards, why not join up yourself? I won't give away your guilty secret ... if you make it worth my while. Tony of the Antipodes |
