Set Includes Folder, Three Sample Sheets And Insert For Roto Gravure Press Complete Excellent Condition With Only Very Minor Wear From Light Handling. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE SCANS OF THE FOLDER ARE CUT OFF ON THE LEFT OR RIGHT DUE TO LIMITATIONS OF THE LENGTH OF MY SCANNER BED.
Official Presentation Folder Produced By The General Directorate Of PTT Berne Featuring The Title “Trial Prints Of The Postage Stamp Printing-Office” In Crisp Black Serif Lettering. This Folder Was Issued By The Swiss Postal Administration (PTT, Postes, Télégraphes Et Téléphones) As A Formal Showcase Of Experimental Or Test Impressions Created By The Swiss Federal Stamp Printing Works, Likely During The Mid-To-Late 20th Century. The Cover Features A Clean Minimalist Design With The Swiss Cross In A Red Square Above The Black-And-White “PTT” Insignia, Signifying The National Postal Authority. The Folded Presentation Format Suggests It Was Intended For Distribution To Collectors, Officials, Or As A Commemorative Souvenir At Exhibitions Or Demonstrations Of Printing Capabilities. The Prints Up To Now Incorrectly Called Trial Stamps Are The Results Of Trials On The Rotary Press Of The Postage Stamp Printing Office PTT. They Are Neither Printing Proofs Nor Colour Proofs Of Any Philatelic Value, Nor Labels Of Any Kind, Let Alone Finished Postage Stamps. These Trial Impressions Are Required After The Assembly Or The Overhaul Of A Rotary Press, After The Replacement Of Parts, Or In Trying Out New Material, Such As Paper, Colours, Wiping Cloths, Support Felts, Etc. To Avoid The Use Of Actual Stamp Cylinders, Special Impression Cylinders With Fancy Designs Are Employed For This Purpose, Bearing Neither The Name Of The Country Nor Any Value. These Pictures Also Show The Various Possibilities Of Steel Line Engraving. Thus, The Trial Impressions Are Not Only Of Use To The Printing Staff, But Also To The Stamp Designers And Steel Engravers. To Ensure Successful Trials It Is Indispensable To Use All Equipment, Materials And Accessories, Such As Gummed Stamp Paper, Perforating Devices, Etc., Exactly As Required For The Postage Stamp Impression. These Extensive Trials Furnish A Comparatively Large Quantity Of Printed Specimens, And As Stamp Collectors Are Well Known For Their Great Interest In All Phases Of The Postage Stamp Production, The Vignettes Are Distributed Free To All Those Sending In A Request.
