    Description

    Welcome
    to the
    Inverted Jenny Hotline
    This item is:
    SCN: 331
    Benjamin Franklin
    Grade: XF/S
    Straight edge with 'guide line arrow' at the (upper left corner).
    (See picture #2)
    Note:
    Scarce!!
    Guide Line Arrow's occurs only in
    1/400 stamps.
    Note:
    These stamps were cut from a sheet of
    400 stamps
    into individual sheets (panes) of 100 stamps.  The guide line arrows were placed at the edge of the sheets, midway between the sheets to help the person who was cutting the sheets.  (see picture) Therefore to cut this sheet of
    400 stamp
    s into 4 sheets of 100 stamps, there would have been only
    4 ARROWS
    .  This ARROW is
    uncommon
    and would only occur in 1/100 stamps (one per sheet), but because of the position of the arrows (
    top center, bottom center, left center, right center
    ), each arrow is
    unique
    and would only occur 1/400 stamps.
