Hi All!- I would like to start a new thread to see how many different tete-beche stamps are out there world wide.

These are mine, probably very common but who knows what we could come up with? Maybe some new discoveries!

Regards

Don't understand why Grenada printed their stamps this way. A bit odd, neither a complete pane or for a booklet production ?

With a few seconds on Photoshop, you could turn any pair into a tete-beche. Has that scam done the rounds on eBay yet? :roll: :evil:

Two of my great favourites, from Cochin - the 2 Pies surcharges on 3 Pies of 1909

Image

SG 22, with 22d in the middle, and partially corrected

Image

And Charkhari did it regularly in the 1930s and 1940s

Image

SG 37a, the œ Anna red of 1943

Image

SG 31a, the 1 Pice blue of 1930 - the paper was flipped over, and printed on the reverse

This tÃÂȘte-bÃÂȘche coil (catalog number 131) was created when Sweden first began using a Stickney rotary press - one of the two intaglio plates was mounted upside down!

This is a booklet pane of ten stamps that has a tete-beche block at the bottom. This pane was made when the Bureau of Engraving and Printing was evaluating the capabilities of their new Goble booklet forming machines - probably around 1980.

Those George V pairs are rather nice, Honza. I don't collect India, but I do see a lot of Indian material, as I'm working through to the Indian States. I didn't remember often seeing those pairs used, and Gibbons confirms it. Used are worth very much more than mint: a most unusual situation for low-face value Indian definitives. Even better that your two pairs are so obviously commercially used, not philatelic contrivances.

At the risk of producing howls of rage from certain quarters (you know who I mean :evil: ), Barwani produced some nice tĂȘte-bĂȘche pairs:

Image

(SG 27a - the 1927 œ Anna - sheet)

Incidentally, has anyone else experienced a strange reaction from Stampboards when trying to insert ALT+234 for the 'e' circumflex, ĂȘ? As soon as I tried, the Post a reply box shut down. I tried a couple of times to be sure, and then cut and pasted from Word, which doesn't seem to have any problem with the letter.

Just for the record, I've never seen any Vietnam or Indochina tete-beche.

I seems some of the above are not print errors? How they came about?

In the case of the Barwani sheet above, it was deliberate. There were only four clichés in the printing plate. For this printing, the printers assembled the clichés in a row of four, printed one row, turned the sheet around, and printed the row again.

It seems that this was an experiment. With the ÂŒ Anna stamp that was issued at the same time, the printers left the four clichĂ©s together, and printed the whole plate upside down next to the first print:

The printers never repeated the experiment :D
