Here is R164r with a nice double transfer I hope everyone will enjoy.  I’ve added pointing arrows to some of the best places where the doubling is best seen.  The left figure “2” shows the best doubling I think.

The 1898 Series Battleship stamps have more than their share of double transfers, perhaps it really because there were millions of them printed, for what ever reason they are easy to find.

Good luck to everyone searching for one of these.

Questions invited!

@zuzu You have the eyes of a hawk – impressive flyspecking there.

Nice find.

I don’t have eyes of a hawk, instead I have a scanner!

I should buy myself a scanner or add it to my list to send to Santa.  The Holidays are encroaching upon us.

I bought a flat bed scanner about 10 years ago, really like the ability to zoom in!
