Sorry I'm not looking well. Just ignore this. (can't delete my message, only edit it)

---

1) Aden - Kathiri State of Seiyun in Hadhramaut
2) Qu'aiti State in Hadramaut

I think there are many stamps under 1) that belong under 2).
An example of that is #1079933 + the rest of that series.

It is a lot of work to move them all 1 by 1.
Is there an admin trick for that?

Or maybe I should ask if my statement is correct in the first place?

Put a little statement in there anyway. I've done it too, just a dash or dot, nobody falls for that.

Koen, you are right. Are two different spellings for the same area.
At the end of last year, many "doubt cases", mainly from the Catawiki era, were added to LastDodo. That still generates a lot of questions and comments ("suddenly changed"), and especially a lot of work for the administrators. A lot of duplication has been suddenly caused, which can only be eliminated slowly.

Then the message is still relevant, isn't it?
I'll see what the difference is on the background pages. If so much work and energy has already gone into it, there must be an explanation there ... or I must also follow the same search path from the beginning ...

Background descriptions seem pretty similar to me... is one area now a 'DOUBLURE of' the other area? Or is there a detail that makes it different?

So the difference is what is captioned on the stamps: 'SAIYUN' or 'QU'AITI STATE'.
I have now tried to make that clear with an image in both backgrounds.

Your post wasn't that bad. I didn't see it right away either. See whether the 'Background page' is attracting your eyes to the difference?

Supposedly "Kathiri", "Quati" means something similar to "Hashemite kingdom of", Islamic" state, "sultanate", thus a religious qualification. According to my SG they are two separate areas that together with a piece of the Protectorate of Aden formed the short-lived Federation of South Arabia, which was soon succeeded by the People's Republic of Yemen (don't confuse it with the Kingdom of Yemen!).  In short, there are minor differences in the inscriptions of the earliest stamps of these areas, bearing in mind that the images and overprints are often identical.
Raoul62  If you come across my previously entered stamps from Seiyun, please report it, they have suddenly disappeared from my collection .......

I have already switched one from Seiyun to Qu'aiti.
And already reported several duplications in Seiyun (Kathiri).
There is clearly work to be done on this. What a messy mess :)

Probably will be the reason why they were in "karantine". Had it sorted out once, ten years ago. But yes, progressive insight, huh.

Hm, if the number of teeth is the same horizontally and vertically ... how can you have a completely different toothing???

#1132685 (K 12 1/2)
#5134517 (K 13:14)
I don't have a Gibbons... can someone with a Gibbons check if that catalog under No. 29 mentions different issues that can be distinguished by their perforation?
And can someone who owns this stamp see how many teeth his copy has, and what the perforation is for it? And what is the exact size of that stamp in mm, measured including the perforation?

Preferably determine the perforation with a digital perforation meter, then discussion is excluded. But another way will probably not be a problem for an experienced philatelist.

ditto for Gibbons No. 30
#5134545 (12:13)
#1132691 (K 12 1/2)

...

I'll stop for now. Time for the apero :)

So: SG 29 was only made in 12 1/2 according to that catalog.
# 1132685 should therefore be the only true one.

walkIn
Is it possible for #5134517 check the perforation?
And for #5134545 too?
There is a suspicion that these are duplications, with a wrong perforation in the item at the moment.

Loriot
I suspect that SG has an /rounds to a half (1/2). Is this correct?
Then couldyour own measurement be a quarter higher or lower.

How we deal with rounding / rounding when perforating in the stamp section on LD .. maybe postmaster  can help? I think LD has not yet taken a position on this (nothing in the manual).

It is always possible that the format of the basic stamp is different. The dimensions are not included here. However, I can't find any other representations similar to it. The chance of a different format is small. I may have missed it. Everyone sometimes misses the mark ...

The #1132685 and the #1132691 with Perforation 12 1/2 have I found, also adjusted them.
Can't find dimensions of the stamps either.

Collectors/sellers from Spain usually know what they are doing. So don't touch the others. It could be a mistake, or something we're overlooking. The person who added the items can best estimate that. Hopefully there will be a response

Well, this message still gets a decent follow-up. Good thing I didn't make it a point or a line.

Now on LD 3 we have 'countries' (well, more, but relevant here):

1 Aden - Kathiri State of Seiyun in Hadhramaut
2 Aden - Qu'aiti State of Shihr and Mukulla
3 Qu'aiti State in Hadramaut

Aren't those last two actually the same? There are also stamps of 2 under 3. If not, what is the difference? Because I can't make much sense from the history of those Sultanates, except that they all eventually formed South Yemen. And later so together with North Yemen, Yemen.

Furthermore, I (letter purist) think that Had h ramaut is English for Hadhramaut (see first and last country).

It concerns the Hadhramaut area (now Yemen). There were different areas in it. Including a Kathiri area (Seiyun) and a Quaiti area (Shihr + Mukulla). Each have those stamps issued in a specific period. Very similar, but the inscription on the stamps was clear to distinguish them.



koenkuijpers
To me 2 and 3 also seem to be the same area because the padding is wrong.
However, vwb stamps can indeed be distinguished in 3 areas as they appear on LD:
1 Aden - Kathiri State of Seiyun in Hadhramaut
2 Aden - Qu'aiti State of Shihr and Mukulla
3 Qu'aiti State in Hadramaut
The 3rd should also say 'Aden - ' in front of it.

Actually, for the ADEN area there are 7 different stamp areas I found:
  • Aden 1937 – 1963
  • Kathiri State of Seiyun 1942 – 1967
  • Mahra Sultanate of Qishn & Socotra 1967 – 1968
  • Qu'Aiti State in Hadhramaut 1955 – 1967
  • Qu'Aiti State of Shihr & Mukalla 1942 – 1955
  • South Arabian Federation 1963 – 1968
  • Upper Yafa 1967 only


7451Dick
You have items LD area 2 and 3 in your collection ... are they together or separately?

#4198639 one was added by you in area 2. In area 3 is #5591447
The teeth do not match. But with what you once wrote, I know that it actually corresponds: you round to half. 13 3/4 then becomes 14.
So both stamps can be the same.

I still have no idea how to deal with that on LD. One can hardly become a variant of the other, because it concerns the same stamp in both cases. Even if one is incorrectly in a different area.

You forgot this one:
Aden
There were several sultanates in what was then South Yemen: Qu'aiti, Kathiri, Mahra, Upper Yafa and Aden (British). All were in or near the Hadhramaut region (Hadhramaut in English). Seiyun was the great city (capital?) of Kathiri. Shihr and Mukalla (no Mukulla) were cities of Qu'aiti. So 2 and 3 are the same. You will also see the same head of the sultan on both. All sultanates may or may not have been part of the Protectorate of Aden.
So I can agree with the names (next to Aden):
1 Aden - Kathiri State of Seiyun in Hadhramaut
2 Aden - Qu'aiti State of Shihr and Mukalla
But there no dog finds the seals without Aden on the seal. It is (I hope, but in any case was) customary at Lastdodo to put the (Dutch translation of the) name on the stamp as a country in the catalog. This way everyone can quickly find the relevant stamp. So
Kathiri State of Seiyun in Hadhramaut
Qu'aiti State of Shihr and Mukulla
Qu'aiti State in Hadhramaut
add as alias of the above names. You can also choose only Kathiri and Qu'aiti.
Raoul62 
You were too quick for me.

I still have no idea how to deal with that on LD. One can hardly become a variant of the other, because in both cases it concerns the same stamp. Even if one is incorrectly located in a different area.
I also assume that there is only 1 type. You know that the different catalogs work differently. One catalog works with quarters, the other only with halves. And unfortunately, most people copy the catalogs instead of copying them themselves. Lastdodo works with quarters. When stamps differ so little, they have been entered by different people, they are not indicated as perforation variants and the large catalogs only indicate 1 type, then I would make 1 stamp of it. If there are still 2 variants, then someone with knowledge, having both variants in possession and having measured the perforation himself, will enter it correctly.
Incidentally, these small differences can be. Indonesia, for example, used the comb 12.7:12.6 from 1951, rounded up to 12 3/4. In 1954 this comb was replaced by a 12.6:12.6 comb, rounded to 12 1/2.

So 2 and 3 are the same
No. It's the content on LD that is the same. But many items are wrong (duplicate in wrong area). The packaging (area, designation) refers to different areas.

Those areas need to be cleaned up, but that's where I, and probably everyone else, run into the problem of perforation, where the rounding rules (which don't exist on LD) are a problem.
Not only 'copying from a catalog' is the cause. As I mentioned, I know that 7451Dick rounds (or rounds) the (self-measured) perforation to the half. While I work with quarters for example. Because I use a digital perforation meter that does that for me.

Below is a side jump that has to do with the above:
Before that I wanted to highlight the field 'Dimensions' a while ago. With a good scan and the dimensions you can determine whether a specified perforation, of a stamp that is perforated , is close to the realistic. And whether your own post-measurement deviates because of 'rounding rules'.
If you start calculating with the correct dimensions and counting the teeth, and you end up with something between 12.7 and 12.8 ... then you know that depending on the rules (catalogue or own measurement) the perforation can come true at 12 1/2 - 12 3/4 or 13.
In connection with the field 'Dimensions' there was then a deviation from the core of the matter by adding the imperforate specimens (what should you put there in the dimensions ...) . But it wasn't about imperforate specimens. It dealt with the dimensions of serrated, and then neatly the stamp itself (including the perforation). That's what it was about: using existing elements (fields) correctly to take advantage of them (recalculation of the perforation).

The determination itself (calculation based on rules) is then the next step. And there we imho need a rule on LD. An appointment. Without an appointment you get situations as mentioned above: 2 items, different perforation, but (clearly) the same stamp.
The fact that the 2 same items are in a different area does not make it any easier.

You could say that it is exceptional: if the number of teeth matches, then it is a duplication. This can be used to concretely resolve exceptional situations. But unfortunately, such situations are no longer exceptional. And then it pays to make clear agreements for it.

because the padding is wrong
Raoul62 I don't know what you mean by this.

But no dog will find the stamps there without Aden on the stamp
What do you mean? For example, see #728797. There is no Aden on it (South Arabia by the way).

I think we have the following states/sultanates (whether or not under the protection of the British Empire, executed by Aden or under the Federation of South Arabia) - I limit me to the two in this discussion:
Kathiri
Qu'aiti

The fact that they have had different names does not change that in my opinion.
Kathiri State of Seiyun
Kathiri State in Hadramaut
Qu'aiti State of Shihr and Mukalla
Qu'aiti State in Hardramaut
Aden addition
South Arabia addition

The addition 'State of Seiyun', 'State in Hadhramaut', 'State of Shir and Mukalla' is not necessary in my opinion. 'Kathiri State of Seiyun in Hadramaut' I do not find on any stamp. Or am I overlooking it?
I don't think the prefix 'Aden' is necessary either; after all, the states/sultanates have not been under the protection of Aden/British Empire during the entire period. And when they later became part of the Federation South Arabia, the stamps concerned were not placed there either.

So:
OR 2 areas
Kathiri
Qu'aiti

OR 6 areas
Kathiri State of Seiyun / Kathiri State in Hadramaut
Qu'aiti State of Shihr and Mukalla / Kathiri State in Hadramaut
Aden - Kathiri State of Seiyun
South Arabia - Kathiri State of Seiyun
Aden - Qu'aiti State in Hadhramaut
South Arabia - Qu'aiti State in Hadhramaut
