Hi All

An area of interest to me is guide line singles, where both lines show completely 100%.

These stamps are all Flat Printed Stamps. The guide lines were used to indicate where the sheet was to be cut into panes.

Many of these stamps can be found where only a portion of the line shows, sometimes only one line shows. I collect only where both lines show completely 100%!

With a little study about the different sheet layouts one can determine the position for each of these stamps on individual panes involved!

Image Not Found
The above image shows four stamps.

If anybody has any other stamps where both lines are showing 100% and care to share image(s), would like to see them.

PM me if you have a question!

re: Guide Line Singles

I always enjoy seeing how collectors find yet another area to collect. Isn't it something how we can get so much from our little paper friends? Well done here!

Cheers,
Peter

Here is an interesting nuance to guide lines.

Regarded as the rarest and most expensive of the Confederate States of America issues is the 10¢ Jefferson Davis “Frame Line”, Scott CSA #10. The image here shows an unused example of the Frame Line issue with 3 full frames (top, left and bottom) and ¾ of the 4th frame at right – about as close as you can find to a full 4-frame example.

The issue is referred to as the Frame Line to distinguish it specifically from Scott CSA #11, which has essentially the same design without the bordering frames.

The lines framing the portrait of Jefferson Davis on the #10 issue were intended to be guidelines for making transfers of the stamp’s image from the engraved steel plate to the copper plate used for the final printing.
