I found these two examples of a 1913 Brasil postage due - the first is on
ordinary white paper while the other is darker and on thinner paper with
some kind of bureaulage that I cannot find listed in Scott. *Any gossip
appreciated.

SG lists many watermark and perf varieties of these stamps, but no
mention of bureaulage, and none on any of my dozen-or-so copies.

For the 10r:-

1919: D303, lilac, p12.5, no watermark, thin to thick paper

1940: D424, mauve, p11, w. CASA+DA+MOEDA+DO+BRASIL, 7mm high, repeated
in echelon

1942: D431, mauve, p11, w. BRASIL*CORREIO, in echelon

1949: D665, mauve, p11, w. CASA+DA+MOEDA+DO+BRASIL, 5mm high, in
vertical columns. For the set containing D665 it says: "Many of the
watermark varieties ... are also to be found upright or sideways on
thick and thin paper, with or without three parallel green lines on
the back".

The watermarks are "in sheet", i.e. you only get a few letters of the
whole text on each stamp.

Unexciting CVs, except that D665 was £2.75/£2.40 m/u in my 1989 cat.
