229 Non-White Paper (normal printing) [1931 5 kr Stockholm Royal Palace] Mint, lightly hinged, with Superb centering and excellent perforations. This example shows a plate join line on the left side. Like all the Swedish stamps printed during 1920-1936, this was printed on the rotary Stickney press -- the same type of press used to print U.S. engraved stamps starting in 1914, with the same resulting line pairs -- on which the printing plate consisted of two half cylinders. Ink caught in the plate joints printed as a colored line and provide what we now call line pairs. Single stamps showing the line do not have additional value, but they add interest to a collection. Unusually sharp impression and incredibly fresh. Such well centered examples are seldom offered. This is key a stamp that, in Mint condition, is missing from many collections. |

247 [1935 60 öre Coil Riksdagen (Parliament) 500th Anniv, Members of the Four Estates] NEVER HINGED coil single with F-VF+ centering. An example from the tail position of the coil roll, with the gummed tail tab (attached to the backside). Without a tab, NH examples of this centering would sell for $30 and Hinged for $10. [Leaders, about 4-6 inches long, had printed text describing the contents of the roll, and wrapped around the outside of the roll to protect the roll. Tails, about 2-3 inches long, usually bore only handstamped initials of the coiling operator or the quality inspector (?). The leaders and tabs, sometimes using a printed color or a colored paper similar to that of the printed stamps, were attached to the backsides of the roll by means of a small perforated tab, as seen on the back of this stamp. In general (when viewing from the front of the stamp), leader tabs are on the left and tail tabs are on the right. To my knowledge all coil rolls were of 100 stamps, thus 2% of production had such a tab on the backside. However, examples with tabs were usually used for postage rather than being saved by collectors, thus they are quite unusual nowadays, though not costly. Examples with full tails are scarce because they were usually not saved. Examples with full leaders are much scarcer than tails because they were usually heavily damaged when opening the roll (they were glued to themselves) in addition to not being saved. They are an interesting artifact of how the stamps were produced.] |
