Now i have another question as this stamp was in the album marked 1908-1909 perforated 12 type 1

How do you tell if it is type 1, what to look for, If it is Type 1 why is it so special???

Hi Pooh,
I recommend ignoring where others before you have mounted or identified stamps and always ID them yourself.

First determine if your stamp is a flat plate, rotary, or offset printing.

Then look at 'types'
