Mandate continuous roll coil stamp - with production marks: 5 mils Pictorials single on coarse woven paper, perforated 14.5 x 14 (14 horizontal holes), with rotary cut vertical edges, prepared for use as a roll of stamps to be dispensed by a stamp vending machine; here the stamp exhibits thin horizontal lines from the manufacturing process. Rotary press printing was designed for rapid stamp production; the design plates were wrapped around a cylindrical plate drum that could continuously impress stamp ink on long rolls of paper, and the plates were punched with gripper holes to connect with gripper claws on the plate drum - this production process would cause the stamps to stretch. Here the ink is fully applied to the paper but the production process produced a thin milling pattern visible at a distance but not visible when viewed with a 10x magnifying glass; it looks like horizontally ribbed paper, but this is just an optical illusion. In places the ink is even smudged. With inverted watermark as documented for some issues of this type of coil stamp. An excellent specimen for examination and study of the coil production process; postally used.
