This was sent to me about nine years ago from Bill Weisman. A guide to determine Grill types. Help but more difficult if there adhered to a cover.
Bill also sent my kids some collection of stamps. Used and mint. I hope others will post some Grilled stamps they have.
This is a good one I have owed this cover for 9 years and have always thought it had a grill? But I cant see one .lol maybe my eye's are that bad now.
I used my method to look at the back i placed the cover in front of a strong light, opened it to look at the inside behind the stamp. No Grill! The smearing of the cancel at first glance gives a line effect but there are no grill lines. I all so use this to look for stamps that might have been printed on the gum side as well.
Yes Richard I will post some grills of mine when I get a chance to photograph them. I have a nice grilled banknote on piece I'll try to post tomorrow or the day after.
I have to apologize for the poor quality of the photographs, it's a hit and miss thing with my decades old digital camera. It's a 15c Daniel Webster large banknote with grill.
