Abstract: The stamps known to have been perforated by Archer were generally well perforated and evenly centred. Stamps from Plates 90 and 92 to 101 have been identified as having been perforated by him. Records show that these plates were in use while Archer was making his perforating experiments. It is therefore safe to assume that stamps printed from plates in use during this time would be drawn upon, thus accounting for the many different plates known. [excerpt]
