This stamp, from this short-lived June 1932 commemorative issue displays the same gum variations as the wet rotary press printings of the previous Arch issue, with some gum showing full brownish or yellow striation lines, some showing partial lines and some showing no lines. Sheen of the gum varies from glossy, to semi-gloss, to satin. The shades vary from red to deep red, and some being shades of scarlet. The broken "E" is the most well known plate variety, and the only one listed in Unitrade. But as several of these lots show, there are other varieties, some of which may turn out on further study to be constant.
