Printing lapse?...
Red 2 Chuckram print missing (Deshyl Cat: E-5)?
1894 blank envelope affixed with 'Chuckram One' adhesive stamp from Manannam to Chagnacherry.
Interesting is that this envelope do have all the features of a 2 Chuckram envelope...
Laid cream paper.. 138x80mm..
Deschl Knife - 4a (K - 4a).
No embossed legend..
Similar to K-3..except for bottom flap angled chamfers.
With bottom flap angled chamfers..9/10mm
Is it a missed stamping of indicia at the time of print by the Govt Stamp Manufactory @ Trivandrum when the folded envelope (stuck to the bottom of another) was taken up for printing.
The below mentioned details regarding the folded envelope, was taken from India Post Vol. 56/3(2022) No. 224 page#104..by Thomas Puthangady... 'New varieties in the first issue 1 Chuckram envelope'.
So there is every possibility of the indicium missing as this particular folded envelope must have stuck to the bottom of another envelope when taken up for stamping of the die.
