Its not a doubled die. It is mechanical doubling, note the unmistakable flat shelving. True doubled dies would be rounded and seperated by notching and would be at the same relief as the original lettering, not lower. Great find though!:thumb:

 

Machine doubling all the way

Hi,

Machine doubling and not a doubled die.

Thanks,
Bill

 

It's not a true double die, no. But it looks to have Mechanical Doubling (Machine Doubling, as mentioned before).

 

Hi,

DoubleD Die....is the correct term when it applies.
Thanks,
Bill
