Scott #548 [1909 1c green Pilgrim Tercentenary, Mayflower Ship] NEVER HINGED with Average centering. Guideline and natural straight edge at right, from the right column of a left pane. The guideline is well on the stamp; in order for this extreme positioning to occur the stamp must have only Average centering! Scott #548-550 were printed in sheets of 280, divided by cutting along guidelines into four panes of 70, consisting of 7 columns and 10 rows. The cutting often seems to have been done on one side or the other of the guideline, resulting in many straight edge examples bearing 100% of the guideline and its mate from the adjacent pane bearing no guideline. The guidelines terminate in arrows in the outer perforated pane margins; arrow-margin examples are hard to find. Including the 4 corner positions at the center of the 280-sheet, 20 stamps out of every 280-sheet had the natural straight edge and guideline at the right (and same for at left). Including the 4 corner positions at the center of the 280-sheet, 14 stamps out of every 280-sheet had the natural straight edge and guideline at the top (and same for at bottom). Examples with a one straight edge, or corner straight edges, are now hard to find and mostly come from old collections. (Most straight edge and guideline stamps were used for postage rather than going into collections; and of those that remained, many have been reperforated to remove the straight edge.) Examples with the straight edge and guideline are surprisingly hard to find! I think that collecting the guideline and straight-edge positions is quite challenging and rewarding. An attractive example showing extreme positioning -- such are seldom offered.

Scott #548 [1909 1c green Pilgrim Tercentenary, Mayflower Ship] NEVER HINGED Lower Left Corner Margin BLOCK OF FOUR with Average / Fine centering. The top two stamps are separated from each other, but firmly attached to the rest of the block. Guideline and natural straight edge at left, with ARROW IN BOTTOM MARGIN, from the lower left corner of the upper right pane. The guideline is well on the stamps; in order for this extreme positioning to occur the stamp must have only Average centering!
