"Hope this isn't boring to anyone out there"
Even though I don't collect in this area, I find such information about stamps very interesting. Thanks for educating us!
Cheers,
Peter

Not only "not boring," but this line of posts by USAFE7 has inspired me to pull out my revenues in hopes of finding an example of some of these curiosities.

It's making me want to start collecting revenues again!

Excellent explanation USAE7, on what a double transfer is not like.
A double transfer (and also a re-entry) is the addition of extra colour marks, rather than the absence of colour, as shown.

Sorry Dave, I don't have the whole stamp scan. I just found that in my archives as a re-entry example someone had sent me a while back. Your last examples are also excellent.

The whole DT vs. inking anomaly vs. double impression vs. kiss impression is an interesting one, as the quality control of the era was relatively poor... even more so if you go back to the Civil War era.
I pulled the stamp below from a revenue hoard I purchased in November. I initially thought it was a double impression. Another experienced collector thought it was a DT. When I asked the opinion of Brian Bleckwenn at the Philatelic Foundation, he deemed it a kiss impression, since some of the elements are not doubled.
A true double impression occurs when the sheet of paper goes through the press twice. A kiss impression occurs when the paper bounces against the plate during a single pass. For this to be a DT, there would have to be a second confirmed example at this plate position to verify consistency.
Still fairly dramatic.

I'm not bored! I'm just amazed at the incredible images and attention to details. Great work! I've got several of these stamps, which I call "Remember the Maine" stamps; I'll have to take a close look at them.
