While on the SG35 I have this pair, and I noticed one side seemed rough but consistent on the separation. Any thoughts? Thanks, Neil I have a 3d with a Nelson cancel and a similar rough separation: The RPSNZ experts concluded that this was a result of the stamp being torn from the sheet, likely using a ruler as a straight edge.

I would agree with that statement too Klem, & Neil.
You see this quite a bit on Chalons, tearing them apart using a ruler (rule) is often cited.
I am away from my home base currently (up in Auckland for the week) but may try a wee experiment upon my return. Just need to get a similar piece of paper (composition wise) to try it with.

Should we then include a straight edge ruler as a separations technique? I wonder if there was a particular post master in a particular location who did this?

Nice one. These were overprinted to raise money for Red Cross during WW2, as you can see. . I would like a copy of these. I'll have to keep my eyes peeled.

Original Post here: linkDunedin to Lancashire, England for 10d (Ten Pence) Note: "Bolton le Moors" is an Church of England ecclesiastical Parish boundary. By Bolton Evening News Reporter ONE of the most valuable envelopes ever sent to Bolton is expected to fetch up to £3,500 when it is auctioned next month. The pale blue envelope was sent from Dunedin, New Zealand, in 1870 at a cost of 10 old pennies. It was addressed to Mrs W.M.French, Rose Hill, Bolton-le-Moors, and is valuable because the Franco-Prussian war in Europe prevented the letter from being carried on its normal route. linkBoxed Indicia : INSUFFICIENTLY PAID / FOR BRINDISI ROUTE / DEFICIENT POSTAGE/3d (d3) Noted : Since currency conversion the use of the term "old pennies"

Hi all Can anyone offer suggestions on where on the plate this stamp comes from. Obviously, Row 20, but I am unsure on which position. Thanks Grant
