German stamp identification?
I can identify the stamps on the left but I don't know the significance
of the attatchments? The overprint on the right does not seem to be in the scott catalog? http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...ny/GR2prop.jpg |

"Treacan" wrote I can identify the stamps on the left but I don't know the significance of the attatchments? The overprint on the right does not seem to be in the scott catalog? http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...ny/GR2prop.jpg The attachement of the two stamps show the value of the complete stamp row, of ten stamps added from row to row. So the post clerk could always see, what the was value of the residual stamp bow. 2000 4000 6000 (8000) (10000) (12000) (14000) ... (20000) 200 200 200 sold sold sold sold sold 200 200 200 ..... 200 200 200 200 200 sold 200 200 sold 200 200 sold 200 200 sold 200 200 sold 200 200 sold 200 200 sold 200 200 sold The clerk always sold the stamps of a bow row for row from down to top and from right to left. After day's work he could count in this example: 3 x 200 + 4000 = 4600 M. It helped him more, when the value was crook, esp. 1,60 M (one row = 1,60 M, 7 rows = 11,20 M). On the right stamp I cannot find an overprint. It is a stamp from 1902 without watermark or from 23. 12. 1905 (peace variation / today hundred years old) or from 1915 (war variation), both with watermark. I hope it helps. Regards Peter |

Thanks Peter:
In other words the attachment have no value and I might a well tear them off? I asked about German stamp in order to save time. I guess I should look at all the german states . I read somewhere that there were a lot of false issues in this period It is from 1915 since it has a watermark. Clearly visible by the way without using fluid. |

Since it's cancelled in 1909, it can't be from the 1915
war printing. It's from the 1905 peace printing. Jay Carrigan change domain to mchsi www.jaypex.com In article .com, says...

Treacan said, "In other words the attachments have no value and I might
a well tear them off?" The selvedge, or what you've called "attachments," may have minimal cash value, but it makes the stamps more interesting and collectible than they would be without it. Collectibility isn't just about cash value, or even mainly about cash value. In this case, the selvedge helps tell a story. If they were my stamps, I'd probably create an album page just for them.

With the selvedge removed, they are normal stamps.
Without the selvedge, they are damaged goods, since the left margin is missing. My suggestion would be to split the pair, remove the selvedge from the left stamp and keep it on the right one.

Nice scans. May I enquire as to your scanner model/resolution used.

but I will check it out and get back to you. I'm going to bed right now LOL |

That is a nice scan, but it has more to do with scanning technique*
than the scanner itself. My scanner, an Agfa Snapscan e40, is going on five years old and cost me all of CDN $125; what I do to get images likeTreacan's is scan at 800% of actual size and sharpen the image slightly. I could do the sharpening at the scanning stage, but I'm a control freak. Since 800% creates an image too large for most uses, I size it down to something more manageable. Bob * I use the word "technique" loosely, because I still don't really understand scanning. Took me ages to learn by trial and error how to get a decent image. |
