    stamps. As you can see, the stamps have less Ink than they should.  The white area is created by a raised portion of the plate in this area, due to poor workmanship on the plate. Rarely when the ink is wiped from the plate this area is wiped of ink, thus causing the absence of ink above the foot of the number one but if you look at the picture you can see that there is under inking throughout the whole entire pair of stamps. Due to this, the shape and size of the flame can vary, thus this is a printing flaw. Shipped with Expedited USPS Priority insured signature confirmation.  Don't miss your chance at securing this pair of EFO Flame 1890 1c Ben Franklin stamps; These stamps are one of a kind.
