The middle stamp is from the January 2013 De La Rue printing of sheets of 50 stamps with security slit Type 2 and security code 12. And, the right hand stamp is from the January 2013 Walsall printing of Business Sheets of 50 stamps with security slit Type 1 and security code 12 B. <br /> <br /> To learn more I recommend visiting <a href="https://www.adminware.ca/machin/mpip-1st-red.htm"><strong>here</strong></a> <br /> <br /> If you are interested in improving your collection I hope you enjoy looking at the selection of security issues I have for sale in my Bidstart Store <a href="http://www.bidstart.com/search_results.php?username=michaelatcddstamps&keywords=machin&category"><strong>here</strong></a><br /> <br /> My Easter competitions were won by Jill from Australia and Glenn from Canada.

This time the Rembrandt machine (which I wrote about the other days) versus the Jumelle machine. The Jumelle printing (right hand stamp) has the lighter shade on the Prince's head.  Hope you enjoy seeing these and perhaps when looking at your stamps you will look more carefully  These are not catalogued at much difference I must add but I think they make a nice pairing.<br /> <br /> <div class="MsoNormal"> What you might also find interesting to learn is that the first stamps printed (I believe) on the Jumelle press were the ones I am showing you, the 1972 Royal Silver Wedding issue.  </div> <div class="MsoNormal"> <br /></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> Enjoy your stamps</div> <div class="MsoNormal"> <br /></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> Michael</div> <div class="MsoNormal"> www.cddstamps.com</div> <br /> <br /><div style="clear:both; padding-bottom:0.25em"></div> </p> </div> <p class="post-footer"> <em>posted by cddstamps @ <a href="http://cddstamps.blogspot.com/2014/04/hello-tonights-stamps-are-again-showing.html" title="permanent link">4:05 AM</a></em> <a class="comment-link" href="https://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/28719887/8679453802195154931"location.href=https://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/28719887/8679453802195154931;>0 comments</a> <span class="item-control blog-admin pid-1909794407"><a style="border:none;" href="https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=28719887&postID=8679453802195154931&from=pencil" title="Edit Post"><img class="icon-action" alt="" src="https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif" height="18" width="18"></a></span> </p> </div>    <h2 class="date-header">Sunday, April 06, 2014</h2>  <div class="post"><a name="7786891321506797432"></a> <div class="post-body"> <p> <div style="clear:both;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5XmD-uzGTuc4Ef9gYvOq2-vHqgT7BJCqnukA5pkz-Q1sYDwZtqF8hUgBJuGON4nUoeajBxvTHJMHSQYIwQk1Z-zObpYgEcBFt7WnpLSBkG42xoriQWPINWLs4t3OZJtatjBlT/s1600/2gbp-perf-difference.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5XmD-uzGTuc4Ef9gYvOq2-vHqgT7BJCqnukA5pkz-Q1sYDwZtqF8hUgBJuGON4nUoeajBxvTHJMHSQYIwQk1Z-zObpYgEcBFt7WnpLSBkG42xoriQWPINWLs4t3OZJtatjBlT/s1600/2gbp-perf-difference.jpg" height="205" width="320" /></a></div> <br /> Hi,  given it has been raining all day that gave me time to do a lot more with the stamps that are cluttering up my study. I found these. They look different and there may be a good reason but one reason is I noticed is that the perforations are different. well they look different to me.<br /> See detail below.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXl1RIHiDMBth7MV9v0wd9NOi7EuIR0GxvFxF5PF5WLvcnAfHEFKqB1cIt0Plni25fDwBjsulEGL60BO-SHo9hwdUKvC2-zq7CDFuX2v802eVIP3j8NtS__zV5ePOh0X-924D_/s1600/perf-differences-2gbp-detail.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXl1RIHiDMBth7MV9v0wd9NOi7EuIR0GxvFxF5PF5WLvcnAfHEFKqB1cIt0Plni25fDwBjsulEGL60BO-SHo9hwdUKvC2-zq7CDFuX2v802eVIP3j8NtS__zV5ePOh0X-924D_/s1600/perf-differences-2gbp-detail.jpg" height="73" width="320" /></a></div> <br /> <br /> The perforations on the right stamp seems to have more rounded holes and are cleaner cut. After some research I found that there were in fact two printings from different perforation machines of this 1997 issue of high value definitives. One printing used a Kampf perforator and the other used an APS Perforator - if I have not expressed this correctly I am sure I will be corrected. There is in fact a thread on this on Stampboards for those of you who know that great Stamp group.<br /> <br /> Simply put a Kampf perforator produces holes that are clean  while APS holes and not so clean<br /> And for the real geek philatelists out there the APS  stands for <span style="background-color: white;">Ab Produktion Svenska, the initials of a Swedish firm which manufacturers perforators.</span><br /> <br /> I just so enjoy learning all this new stuff, don't you :-)<br /> <br /> Best wishes..

A very enjoyable day.  I found a few of these and when checking saw the differences, which I hope you can see. Always worth looking and having a catalogue nearby to check why the difference. These were issued in 1965  for the Churchill  Comemoration. The left hand stamp is SG 661 and the other is SG 661a.<br /> <br /> SG 661 was printed using the REMBRANDT machine, and the other was printed using the Timson machine. the major difference is that SG 661 has a lack of shading detail on Churchill's portrait. The Timson machine printing shows more detail on Churchill's portrait with furrow on forehead, his left eyebrow is fully drawn and there is more shading on his cheek. Also, the Queen's portrait is lighter and sharper. This is a reel fed two colour12-inch wide rotary machine and the differences in impression are due to the greater pressure applied by this printing machine. The following is a Timson machine<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEif86IYuoFj6mDONwAFG8c6ZlncTK_SmoTbvKN4pjjXL2cLMr6VfQ5qxtJMUK_mDc57gR8FSIpoKiJHA_gDyF7o8xSzpTMrWAV_ZmJ4FFoqXunkqac5t_nqxn_fCiXVCnl3dBlr/s1600/timson-press.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEif86IYuoFj6mDONwAFG8c6ZlncTK_SmoTbvKN4pjjXL2cLMr6VfQ5qxtJMUK_mDc57gR8FSIpoKiJHA_gDyF7o8xSzpTMrWAV_ZmJ4FFoqXunkqac5t_nqxn_fCiXVCnl3dBlr/s1600/timson-press.jpg" height="259" width="320" /></a></div> <br /> <br /> To read more about this and other printing machines of the 1960's I hope you enjoy this link <a href="http://deltastamps.com/Fact14LSD1960.htm">http://deltastamps.com/Fact14LSD1960.htm</a><br /> <br /> have a great weekend....
