What's the other side look like?

Errr.....Yeah :confused: UN-X-LD stamped rear bolster on the pile side, plain bolster on the mark side. Were any of the others like that? :confused:

What the. . . . . .??:confused: I didn't see that! I just checked the dozen I have sitting here, and they are marked on both sides - good eye, Sarah!!:eek:

Any others like that folks? You might have the upside-down airplane*, Jack!!:eek::D








*referring to mis-printed postage stamps that are rare and valuable.
 
I'm not sure if I'm cursed Charlie, or...

:D

Do they have a blind person doing QC at GEC?! :eek:

Still means as much to me Charlie :thumbup:
 
For that plain bolster to continue through the production process under "ordinary" circumstances, it would have to be missed by the person forging the stamp in the bolster, the person attaching the bolster to the scale, the person machining the space for the bone, the person "clipping" the scale to shape, drilling, assembly, finishing, sharpening, inspection, packaging, and several intermediate steps I missed! Probably looked at 40-50 times!!
Great Scott!!:eek:

That really is incredible Charlie, maybe it holds some kind of record?! :eek: :D

I have to say, I much prefer the plain bolster to this one that Bill Howard worked on :rolleyes:

 
The 2010 BFC knife had one blade stamped Queen and the other stamped S&M.

Jack, maybe half your knife was constructed by GEC and the other half by--anyone else. lol. ;):D

Charlie: add two more people to your estimate of 40-50. You and Jack. ;). I'd say Jack does have the upside-down airplane. :thumbup:
 
US_Airmail_inverted_Jenny_24c_1918_issue_zpsaj489f48.jpg


DALLAS (AP) — A collector from New York has purchased a rare 24-cent stamp depicting an upside-down airplane for $825,000, according to an auction house.

The unidentified buyer of the "Inverted Jenny" stamp was described as a Wall Street executive and longtime coin collector by Heritage Auction Galleries, which announced the sale Wednesday.

The 1918 stamp depicts a Curtiss JN-4 "Jenny," a World War I training aircraft that became an airmail plane. About 700 of the stamps were misprinted, but inspectors caught all but 100 before they were sold.

The entire pane of 100 was bought by stamp collector William Robey on May 14, 1918, at a Washington post office. It was later sold and separated into individual stamps and blocks.
 
Good stuff all around!!! WTG Charlie, a very generous gift :thumbup::thumbup:

Enjoy that one Jack, that oddball bolster makes it extra special!
 
Just think, Jack, according to Charlie, one day your Washington Jack will be worth 800,000 USD!
 
Thanks guys, I'm afraid it's not for sale! :D :thumbup:
