I have noticed an interesting cancel on some early Belgian stamps - two horizontal lines with diamonds crossing between the lines and a dot in the center of each diamonds and then two dots touching the horizontal lines creating a nice ribbon pattern. Do you know what these pertain to?Tyrannushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16588579617430173605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6190925726844102948.post-24476566002317235342020-10-11T21:14:23.038-07:002020-10-11T21:14:23.038-07:00I don't have an example of ribbed paper, but h...I don't have an example of ribbed paper, but here is an explanation..<br /><br />"Ribbed paper or Repp paper describes the texture created by paper-making rollers that have fine corrugations cut into them. Ribbed paper can be confused with paper with heavy laid lines as their appearance when held to a light is similar. One way to determine if the paper is ribbed is to run your finger over the surface of the stamp, since ribbing is not a watermark but a texturing of the surface of the stamp."Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02024632082262694589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6190925726844102948.post-34198430592332966532020-10-11T11:39:04.973-07:002020-10-11T11:39:04.973-07:00How do you tell the difference in a ribbed stamp f...How do you tell the difference in a ribbed stamp from a regular issue stampAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01835597962731431802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6190925726844102948.post-36827809743810187022020-08-14T14:03:38.295-07:002020-08-14T14:03:38.295-07:00That is what I like to hear that this resource is ...That is what I like to hear that this resource is useful.
