Hi Mike, nice Downey Control! Looking very nice indeed! :D I am in my studio in Toronto, no catalogues here unfortunately, but I would like to clear up what you are referring to. Does the flaw involve the 'P' of "PENNY" on the middle stamp? Looking forward to this Forum, Thanks for the inv...

Hi there Tony! I had a wonderful reply prepared to accompany my scan however it mysteriously vanished into thin air. Now I have to step away for work for a few hours, but I will return in a bit to try to recreate the literary genius that is now floating around cyber space.... If you have a chance to...

Yes, I remember the day you first posted those and I am still impressed with them today! They are truly fantastic! Thanks again,

Thank-you for adding your scans of those fantastic Postcards to this thread Asmodeus! They certainly are wonderful! I must comment on how lucky you are to have 2 copies of each value, WOW! The first 1d. PC would be a commercial use, but I would like to know about the other three? Would they be consi...

Asmodeus, I have to apologize as this had completely slipped my mind! Sorry pal! I finally have some time from work this week, and will have a look through the ones in my collection. It has been an extremely busy summer/fall season in the Toronto Film and Television industry and I haven't had many d...

Postally used not up your alley? Well here is another collage I have created, this time using some Mint 1d.Downey Heads.

Thanks for taking a look and I hope you all have a wonderful week!

And similar scans of the second stamp with the purple cancel.

Again, I appreciate any and all feedback and thank you for your time!

Kind Regards,

Here are enlarged images of the areas in question on the first stamp.

Here it is, I had to reformat it so I could attach it correctly.

Hi folks, I hope you are all well and the collections are looking as wonderful as ever! The attached scan is a recent addition to my collection of ½d. Downey Heads, and I am very happy to have been able to include it. However this means that a void has become more apparent than ever! I am primarily ...

I just thought I would share a nice collage I have been able to create from some of the items from my Downey Head collection. I have a few of these and really like to use them as my computer desktop image, they look great in my opinion! I use "Google Picasa" to create these and it is reall...

Ha-ha! Looks like someone was able to figure out time travel! ;) The movie 'Back to the Future' comes to mind! I seem to remember having a Machin stamp with a similar error and once I get my Machin stockbook back from a fellow I lent it to I will check into it and hopefully scan and post an image fo...

Thanks for your replies, I really appreciate others opinions and observations, and the time taken to do so! I am sorry for the delay in my response, seems like my original reply wasn't submitted properly and never made the thread. I am still waiting to receive this Downey from my friend in Australia...

Hello there folks! I hope you are all well and your collections are looking as wonderful as ever! I have recently purchased this Die2 1d. Downey Head from an Auction House in Australia and I am struggling to find any information on it. I am wondering if this is a real overprint or a forgery, and pos...

Hey asmodeus,

I am almost certain I have something similar in my collection. Work must come first, but I will have a look through and see what I can find. I will get back to you as soon as I can, probably later tonight or tomorrow.

Have a Good One,

http://www.gbps.org.uk/boards/images/transferred/1682_1.png Hi Mike, Thanks for getting back to me, I have corrected my notes and appreciate you taking the time to answer my questions. I was able to access the .pdf you linked and am quite honestly blown away! The words 'Fantastic' and 'Exceptional'...

I would also like to add that if anyone wants to have a closer look at any of the material in my collection, please feel free to ask! I will happily oblige with a 1200 dpi scan, no charge!

Have a Good One,

Hi there folks! I have just received this A11 Control block and would like some help from more advanced collectors to assist me in completing my notes before I enter it into my collection. I apologize if the following questions seem basic and I hope no one feels as though I have wasted their time. C...

Hello friends, I hope everyone is well and your collections are looking great! I would like to know how to go about getting copies of a few articles that are noted in the GBPS online index. I actually would like to acquire all of the 1d. Downey Head articles that are shown in the index. What is the ...

Hi Steve, better late than never, eh! ;) I have had a look at all of my N9's and haven't been able to find another one like the stamps you have shown. I'll keep my eyes peeled though! I do have a few N8's showing a similar flaw in various locations under 'ONE PENNY'. When I scan the group of them I'...

Hi Bob and Mike, Thanks for getting back to me so quickly regarding these revenue stamps. I appreciate you both explaining their use and mentioning the Catalogue. I'll have to see if I can get my hands on the relevant pages so I can properly identify them. Thanks again for taking the time to reply! ...

In total there are 10 items, here is a selection of a couple of them:

Greetings from Canada! After reading the "Pages from a Competition Winner" in the latest newsletter, I was reminded of some items I have in my collection that I know very little about. I have posted some images in hopes that a fellow member may have some information on exactly what these a...

Hi Mike, Thanks for your kind and extremely helpful reply! I appreciate you taking the time to explain how the verification of Plate Flaws works to me! I have my fingers out on a couple other boards and am hopeful another copy turns up sometime! I would be happy to put together some of the uncatalog...

Hi Mike, I am more than happy to be here! I appreciate your observations, and have prepared a note based on them, Thank-you for your help so far! What would you recommend the next logical step for me to take with this stamp? Am I right in thinking that several other copies must be located and identi...
