![]() Any idea why "Economy" has been stamped "Lettre" ? http://cjoint.com/data/jmjM3IkpgE.htm Caveat: The parcel had been used prior so maybe the sticker had been on that usage. Supplementary query. Any Idea why perforations in some scans appear as raised lumps? I remember seeing a clip of a revolving opera mask once, as the inside came into view, the brain recognises the nose shadow, and automatically assumes it to protude, so the inside "flips" inside out. Maybe perf and their shadows follow suit? |

I would say it was from the previous usage. Your sending went Letter class (first class). Supplementary query. Any Idea why perforations in some scans appear as raised lumps?

I do not recall beeing such a niggard in 2002 to reuse an old cover ? But it seems to be the only explanation. Nevertheless the cross on the "Economy" label seems to be from a different pen than my writing ??? If you still have all the entire cover, may be you can send me a full scan of it and I may have a better explanation ? Supplementary query.

Then you can see the perf and some shadow of it at the same time, thus giving an feeling of 3D. -- All the best, Pierre |

Mais non! you were recycling, (the planet and myself both genuflect) Thanks Rod : you are too kind with me ;-) After seeing the scan of the full cover, one can see my name & address under the sticker with your address. was probably the Michel Catalogue. You were meaning Yvert I suppose. image sent. Yes thanks! If I calculate the franking : 0.46 € x 9 = 4.14 € + 0.79 + 1.02 = 5.95 € Definitely 1st class (and not Economy) franking :-) Your Prepaid Post-card should leave to-day with (if available in my small post-office) an additional small gift, what La Poste calls an "animated" stamp : http://timbres.laposte.fr/detailarti...rticle=1107024 -- All the best, Pierre |
