A pair and etc...

Here is a pair that I'm not sure about the
Scott #, can anyone give me a guesstimate?

These 2 below look like different shades
to me, anyone else think so?

Subsidiary question to the NG,
did these issues have "barred gum" to prevent gum curling?
Thanks.

Thank you Jay,
that is such a good site for US stamps.

A case in point for the retention of gum on an issue.

No, gum breakers came about 20 years later.

At that time any stamp that had a number of printing runs was
likely to produce shades.

Often, the shades vary in a subtle way, so that there is a range
of shades.

In this case variations show little difference in importance
or value.

When there is a more dramatic shade difference, then that
gets more interesting.

For the typographed stamps of Italy, Sassone lists very few shades
indeed, while Stanley Gibbons sometimes lists variations such as blue-green
and yellow-green.

A case in point is one of my specialisations; the 5 centesimi
designed by Leoni and first issued in October 1906. It was in use until
about 1930, and had three different printers. Shades vary from a deep
blue-green to a yellow-green, with all shades in between, and not
necessarily going in any particular sequence date-wise.

It was issued with many different overprints for Italian possessions and
post offices, and I once presented a 16 page display on this one stamp
and its variations!

Can you tell us if the Italian occupied Austria N33-N51
were overprinted on a Remington typewriter?

Not exactly sure of the typesetting machine (but not a
typewriter) There are some entertaining errors
(I am assuming you mean the issues for Trento and Trieste
overprinted in centesimi di corona; I do not understand
Scott numbers)

The best one is the 60 cdc on 60c carmine that reads
00 centesimi di corona in error.

I also have a 40 centisimi di ccrona

I must scan them and get them up on http://www.italianstamps.co.uk

Thanks Tony,
I was advised a typewriter on another group,
but I was a bit sceptical.

Care to cast a critical eye over this one please?

Bought it last night for AUD$3 I think, I bought a few items
in a row, and missed the knock down price.

The Auction card states sic "Cat 43 Pounds, rusty-should respond to a dose of "ERNI" A&B

any idea what "Erni" is?

Thanks

Found it.
A lindner mildew remover not suitable on fugitive ink.
The Italian pair look colour fast.

Rodney:

If you are going to use chemicals to remove "rust" (really it is
mildew stains), from stamps, get the Lindner ERNI A/B solutions.

I think the "A" solution has potassium permanganate in it,
but I would not mix my own. It is too dangereous.

Lindner know the proportions, and there are probably other things
in it. The "B" solution neutralizes it and gets it off your stamps.
