Hi, I have a Great Britton stamp that was given to my daughter from her
Great Grand Dad . He is no longer with us and she was told two different sc. numbers. I looked online but the corner letters are different. Can anybody help her ? I put the stamp on a web page that is below. Jerry http://community.webtv.net/awoodbutc...oodWorkingPage http://community.webtv.net/awoodbutcher/Stamp |

Jerry http://community.webtv.net/awoodbutc...oodWorkingPage http://community.webtv.net/awoodbutcher/Stamp Jerry--go to the local library and borrow a Scott Catalog with countries that include the letter G. Under Great Britain you will find several 1 pence reddish stamps with the same design.(Scott design A1). The letters in the corners denote the position of each stamp in a sheet, so they will be different in each position. Scott also illustrates the watermark on each catalog number. (To check for watermarks, place the stamp face-down on a dark surface. The watermark will show up as a dark design against the lighter background of the paper color. If it doesn't show up, use a dark dish or tray and put a drop of lighter fluid--NOT BUTANE--on the back of the stamp.) It's difficult to guess colors from a computer monitor, so I won't try to determine what color the paper is, but some of the catalog numbers are on white paper and some on bluish paper. Between paper color and watermark, you probably can narrow the number of options down considerably. There also are differences in the number of perforation holes per 20 mm, but that you can ignore unless it becomes important. Stan |
