Plate Flaw

  • An unusual sloping, double line from near the bottom of the right frame up and to the right of the right margin.
  • The second example was reported by Guy Jeffery. Jim Jung has found another example, this one is the right stamp of a dated pair (DE 6, 94) with selvedge. We now know that the variety occurs in the right column of a pane. 
  • Guillaume offers that the "overall sharpness of design and wear" suggests that the stamp comes from the "double pane of 100".
