Or indeed any of them. Grrrrrr.
I blame Susanne. She didn't tell me about Colin's stamps until (I think) 2008. Keith |

I am beginning to suspect that each of the 15 copper foil sportens were different. How I wish I had bought them all ;)[/QUOTE] Those copper foiled Sportens were an experiment I did when there was an expectation that a Discworld gold Dwarves, or Alchemists Guild stamp might be required. The processes available for our budgets at the time were particularly tricky and a bit hit-and-miss so I didn't take it further.
The stamps were of different designs, the idea being I wanted to see how the foil would react to different weights of line and dots - the point where it either blocked up or fell off. Not all the designs on the sheet were a success.

I've just come across another color variant of The Waterwalkers with a large horizontal green band and a narrow horizontal yellow band, both on the bottom half. I'll get a scan.

I thought the most notable example of a premature obit was that of Samuel Clemence, and that these were rare. However a quick search revealed all this.
