Get This Test Stamp –
a Neat Part of Stamp Production History
This stamp was produced by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing strictly for use in testing stamp production equipment. It has been defaced with three blue lines. Few collectors even know testing stamps exist. Now you can be one of the few to own one.
Test stamps, or “dummy stamps,” are used when it would be wasteful to use actual postage stamps. This would include during the development of new equipment, such as printing presses. The stamps would also be used by private vendors to demonstrate and adjust a piece of equipment. They have been in use since the late 19th century and are still in use today.
