Conclusion • Analyses of bending index, fiber length, and porosity showed that all three companies used different types of paper, and that more than one paper was used by each company • National and Continental both used two discrete types of papers. • Three different papers were used by American in the 1879 printing. Their 1881 re-engraved stamps were printed on two different papers.
Conclusion • Green as described by the Scott catalogue is different for every manufacturer. • The average CIELAB value of National stamps shows a Eab = 3.4 color difference from National“Green”. • Continental’s average stamp has a CIELAB value of 47.5, -23.8, 7.5 and its color difference from Continental “Green” is Eab =3.0. • American 1879 has a Eab 4.6 from American 1879 “Dark green”, and American 1881 has Eab=1.8 from American 1881“Green”.
