Is someone able to identify differences in the 1900 and 1905 200 Rei Head of Liberty Blue Issues for me please?
All mine are a bit scrappy, ink maybe the culprit, but the designs seem to alter quite a deal,
some, I have filagree in the "200" others not.
I don't wish to mount them in the incorrect spot.

Wow, this Madrugada issue looks mind-boggling to me. Michel lists 4 different major number varieties for this 200r design. I'm not a native German speaker and without illustrations I sometimes have problems figuring out exactly what the wording is supposed to mean (as Mark Twain once commented about a trans-Atlantic ocean crossing, the German can start talking when you leave America and when you get to Europe the German will finally release the verbs from his mouth). www.crossmyt.com/hc/linghebr/awfgrmlg.html - nothing to do with stamps, everything to do with Mark Twain being funny about German. Back to the Michel catalogue listings. 1900, old 1894-95 printing plates, two-pass printing (inner portrait is printed in a separate pass, perhaps it can be seen to be slightly off-centre), frame line around inner portrait, narrow margins (0.5 mm). 1900, new printing plates, printed in a single pass, wider margins (about 1.5 mm), no inner frame line (??). 1904, new printing plates again, margins 1.75 - 2 mm. 1905, two different watermarks. Various notes about design differences in 1900 and 1904 are not 100% understandable to me, and if you get 10% wrong you might as well have it all wrong. Here's a brief article about these Madrugada stamps. brazilstamps.blogspot.ca/2006/01/brazils-madrugada-definitives-of-1894.htmlGood luck with these things, they look mighty baffling to me with the limited info in Scott & Michel that I have. Looks like a proper Brazilian catalogue would be in order to sort it out ... Ryan |

Funny and entertaining Ryan, Thanks.
Two observations, this just cements the fantastic advantage the Internet has given us (Thanks Al Gore)
Had we had it in 1900 we may not have lost all that valuable information in the fire.
We have an advantage with scanners and toggling, to see the finest variance of design from the comfort of our recliners.
Not a squint or a Loupe in sight.
I am, once again glad I keep multiples of stamps, I can really get my teeth into these.
Appreciated.
Meinen guten Freunden (Dative)

Post by jkjblue on Oct 5, 2013 1:20:14 GMT
The wmk 218 "EUBRASIL", repeated, has letters 8 mm high. There is, though, a curve ball that can be encountered with the wmk 218. It can also be found in echelon, with letters flowing. Scott gives the five stamps with this found characteristic- that is wmk 218 in echelon- minor numbers. Scott does not present an illustration for this wmk 218 variation, although Michel and Yvert do. The watermark 218 in echelon will have a similar letter size and appearance as the wmk 218 stamps, except not be vertically oriented. Note: A foretaste of the watermarks and stamps of the Brazil to be published in the "Who's afraid of watermarking the Brazil 1918-1941 series?" November 18 in the Big Blue blog.  |

Gracias,
What one needs as a novice, as myself, when faced with a bulging glassine of 1920 through 1931 definitives
is a step by step brochure on how to approach the Identification.
we have
1920-1922 unwatermarked
1924-1928 wmk 101
1929 wmk 218
1929 wmk in echelon
1930 wmk 221
1931 wmk 222
Plus any sundries where the wmk is unreadable.
Having not dove in yet, I wonder if the perforations assist, I doubt it they all look a mish mash to me.

Even the Brazil Philatelic Association links to it! www.stampcollectingblog.com/brazilian-definitive-stamps-vovo-1920-1941.phpRyan |

I was actually just making a correction on that page when I had a look at the chat. So I figured I ought to post on it. At bottom right on this page you can see the 3 stamps in order of type. That is what I decided a few months ago when I was expanding early Brazil pages by adding types. There are numerous differences in the border and filigree. You may find even more in the face. Eyes, mouth headgear, alignment of head in oval and others. Scan could be better but probably just good enough for general comparison, can rescan if you like. Also another page I recently made that combines all the early coms on one page. One thing I plan to do in the future is make 600dpi scans of most early TYPES as well as particularly beautiful stamps from any era.   Brazil is one of my favorites and most collectors should find my showing a good reference . Regular issues: mitch.seymourfamily.com/mward/collection/samerica/brazil/brazil.htmlB.O.B.: mitch.seymourfamily.com/mward/collection/samerica/brazil/brazil2.htmlI've been very busy lately on several different countries making pages to add early types. In the process uncramping the 19th century pages to allow a more respectful viewing of the early classics. I just got done making pages for French early Ceres and Napoleon. Previously I just had them in 2 black stocksheets. mitch.seymourfamily.com/mward/collection/europe/france/france.htmlAlso just added many new spaces with stamps for early Romania mitch.seymourfamily.com/mward/collection/europe/romania/romania.htmlNow I need to figure out what I was doing before I got sidetracked........... |

Stamp errors aren't very common (unless they're deliberate "errors", like the inverted yellow on the US Dag Hammarskjold stamps), so you don't expect to see them on the stamps you get unless you're specifically buying such things. But I've had luck twice with Brazilian stamps that have notable errors. Here's a misperf and a double perf that I've come across.   Ryan |

Here's my assortment of Brazil definitives, sorted by watermarks. The pics aren't very instructive, as you have to take my word for what the watermarks actually are. However, it was a good project for a stormy winter weekend a while back. There are some gaps, you'll notice, so when the weather gets cold again, I'll sort through some more. Are we having fun yet? No, Brazil still lies in packets on desk, Re grouping before attacking them again. Currently working Venezuela. |

Brazil C88 Maximaphily. Illustrating suggested "Full Concordance", I wonder whether this would pass in a judged Exhibit? The Postcard is a "facsimile" of an original postcard, with "Max ####" etc printed on reverse, obviously produced specifically for Maximaphily. Brazil UN troops in Egypt 1957.  |

Brazilian watermarks are by far my worst nightmare collecting classic worldwide. I cheated and got a Brazilian trading connection to send me them sorted out ready to mount.

Dissecting cadaver. Nice. Looks like he might have a pot of fava beans going, and a nice Chianti opening up on the counter.

Dissecting cadaver. Nice. Looks like he might have a pot of fava beans going, and a nice Chianti opening up on the counter. On further investigation. Described the pathogen of Epidemic Typhus. Killed 20,00 Canadians in 1847 and 3 million during the Russian wars between the White and Red Armies. Some nasty bug that one. Carried by Lice. |
