Like the "real" bi-coloured stamps, the
"bi-coloured" stamps on postal cards have normal and inverted frames.
But there is a third stamp
imprint on the postal stationery: The double inverted frame, not found on
stamps.

If you divide
the three frames on values, you get this picture:

On stamps there are clear differences between skilling and øre
values: On skilling stamps there are shells in the crown, but in
øre stamps, there are stars in the crown.

On postal cards not only the skilling issues have shells in the
crown, also 4, 6 and 8 ore have. This indicates, that the ore
stamps on some postal cards are made from skilling stamp issues.
This means that the 4 ore on postal cards shoud be made from a 4
skilling stamp and not a 4 ore stamp. This is proved by comparing
the "4".

4 with streight right line is found on 4 skilling stamps and 4
skilling and 4 ore postal cards. 4 with slant right line is only
found on 4 ore stamp.

When making the double
inverted frame cliche (for 3 ore, 8 ore and 10 ore imprinted stamps),
proofs
(blackprints) were made. This proof is known in both positive and negative
printing.

varieties in the imprinted stamps.
