3¢ Brown Plate Flaw 11 Dashes
Between the outside frame and the lower left spandrel, there are 11 dashes, which are much fainter and more linear than is typical. The dashes extend well into the bottom margin.
Comments
- Most of these "String of Dashes" CPVs show the dashes in the upper left.
- Several authors have recognized these marks.
- Marler refers to "a dotted guide line that appears inside the frame either in the upper left or the lower left". This may be a reference to these CPVs.
- Reiche (No. 9) clearly indicates these CPVs. He may well have noticed the marks in the top margin as well.
