Perforation errors
Posted: Sat Aug 28, 2010 7:00 pm
Dear All,
Perforator encroachments are well-known, and on the 1937 Coronation stamp occurred on most sheets, but usually only two or three holes, or five or six. The issue was only perforated on a type 5 machine.
I have an example that at a glance (in my case, without a lens) it looks like a type 6B machine has been used. Particularly interesting since this machine was used for the stop side of a sheet, and this is clearly a no-stop side.
On careful examination it is, obviously a major perforator encroachment. I would be pleased to know of any other similar examples, perhaps of a false type 6 machine?
Or maybe even other more extreme examples?
Thanks, and best wishes, Robin
