To complete my database I need these 3 please.
I am curious as to the badly registered Satyajit Ray issue with 1994 blazoned across. I cannot see it http://cjoint.com/data/hjc2DSuJVM.htm Thanks. BTW anyone know why the 1994 "endangered water birds" were withdrawn? (SG1603-1606) |

BTW anyone know why the 1994 "endangered water birds" were withdrawn? (SG1603-1606) As you've probably seen, No actually, I had not googled and my SG spec finishes just before that issue. Thanks for that link, good stuff. Thanks Chris. |

If so, it wasn't the first time it's happened. I'd offer a list of
Indian States that used water-soluble inks, but it would be rather long ... Tony of the Antipodes rodney wrote: You're kidding us, right? "Blair" The stamps were printed with water-soluable ink. Oops! 8^) Blair |

Such inks were used in stamp printing to prevent erasure of cancellations and reuse of stamps. Aniline inks are very sensitive and may dissolve in water or other liquids or chemicals. Aniline Ink: A water-soluble ink with a dye base that runs when wet. Some of the first Australian commonwealth issue (post 1918 Harrison printings) had deep analine shades. http://i241.photobucket.com/albums/f...210/75thin.jpg Australia Roo 10/- Gray + aniline http://www.richardjuzwin.com.au/plug...listing919.jpg Victoria - postage due. blue + deep aniline. (SG D01b) http://stampsofvictoria.com/osimages/sg-d01b.jpg US Columbian $4 aniline rose http://www.mbiauctions.com/images-news/179279.jpg GB 1911 Harrison 1d aniline pink, (SG 275) Natal 1863 http://www.rpsl.org.uk/images/perkin.../line_perf.jpg Aniline ink was cheaper and prevented reuse of high value stamps. It also allowed for much brighter shades of ink. Blair |
