Can anyone add to the list of printing companies "Fábrica del Sello". This entity printed stamps until it merged in 1893 with the "Casa de la Moneda" to form the "Fábrica Nacional de Moneda y Timbre."

Unfortunately, this doesn't work that way with LD Esquerdo . A printing company is arrested. The same printing company, with different names, is the same printing company. Fabrica Nacional de Moneda y Timbre - Real Casa de la Moneda (RCM-FNMT) . If necessary, you can supplement the background page?.

See for example Bundesdruckerei [Germany] (BDB)

Charles1971 When two companies merge, a new company is often created. FNMT did not exist before 1893 and therefore did not print stamps before that time. Fábrica del Sello also did nothing with 'monedas', for which the M in FNMT stands.

And if so, then it's time to drop Walsall, Cartor, Harrison, Waddington and Questa. Walsall and Cartor are ISP and Waddington was taken over by Questa which was taken over by De La Rue, which had also taken over Harrison.

To keep the name of a printing company, as it was at that time or still is Esquerdo is also my preference. But there has been a discussion about this before. The result was negative. Unfortunately !.

Germany got away well, this one is correct.

Then I don't understand why, after such a discussion, arbitrariness is the rule and examples of the opposite are the norm rather than the exception. But given other discussions, it unfortunately does not come as a surprise.

Don't say this, because it's not right!
First take a look at the list of the printing works and like many other lists, that list is a mess where there are no unambiguous guidelines to discover.
How this happened?
The administrators responsible for this are partly responsible for this because they each think and act individually. Consultation is not or sometimes only partially.
And almost every week a new topic comes up on the forum, which is then discussed, but not followed by decisions.
It is like a chicken coop: a lot of cackling, but few eggs.
Sometimes I think it is deliberate to give the collectors the impression that they may have something to say, an outlet without consequences.

to merge?

Baltijas Banknote [2009]
Baltijas Banknote, Latvija

Central Trust of China, Chungking
Central Trust, Beijing

Unless the location of the head office is decisive to keep them different...
I wonder where Campo was located, and Rodan... perhaps in different places. And where did they continue after the takeover as Campo-Rodan...

Well, if it is a rule to use the current publisher, then there is a lot of work in the comics section.

For Jommeke alone.
The Jommekes albums were published by various publishers. Albums 1 to 175 were published by Het Volk. Albums 176 to 216 were published by De Stripuitgeverij. Albums 217 to 228 were published by Dupuis. From album 229 to 241, Jommeke was housed by Mezzanine publishers and from album 242 by Ballon publishers. More than 50 million copies have now been sold.[2] The stories have been published in color since 1979.
In 2019, it was announced that publisher Ballon Media would merge with Standaard Uitgeverij on January 1, 2020. The merged company is called Standaard Uitgeverij.




Who starts it?


In other words: it is an unwritten rule that randomness is the rule.

Still a 'flawed' comparison if you ask me.
Comics has its handbook and that's right in there.
And Postage Stamps has its manual and it is therefore stated differently in/or not in there.
But the big difference lies in the fact that with comics you can find the publisher on the item (inside or outside).
So you don't even need to know the year to determine the publisher.
Where can you find the publisher on the item...?

Nice try, but the kite (explanation) doesn't work.

#2737725 -> the publisher is clearly stated on the item: Philato from Deventer.
In the collection area the publisher is Zaanstad, with Philato as the alias

Shouldn't the publisher for Jommeke become 'Standard Publisher' everywhere, with the alias 'Ballon Media'? Multiple aliases if necessary.

OK then.
We formulate it differently.
Exceptions confirm the rule; isn't that the rule...?
Of the 860,000 stamps in LD, how many will you find with a publisher on it?
And of the 620,000 items in comics, the publisher was not filled in 4745 times.
And of those 4745, another 1145 are 'illegal' comics.
Something like 0.58%.
That says enough.

By definition not. An exception proves the absence of the rule. If exceptions confirm rules, we can abolish almost all of science.

By the way, the issuers of stamps are the postal authorities of the relevant areas. It concerns printing companies.

It is shocking that in quite a few cases the printing works are not filled in when people want to apply a fiction that makes you wonder what the purpose of the catalog actually is. It is better to fill in nothing than fill in nonsense.

I can already imagine that you have to fill in Questa for both John Waddington and Questa lithographically printed stamps and then you can only make a distinction based on type, which in turn is the subject of discussion about how to deal with those types.

buizer etc
Publishers can only be entered for certain types (including FDC, Occasional Card, Postal Stationery, etc.) and therefore not for stamps, among others.
But as the subject of this topic also indicates, this concerns the Printing House.

For the discussion about this, it is recommended to also read what is stated in the Basic Manual under Article 7. Company names. Does not provide a complete answer to the possible name change after an adoption, but it does provide a definitive answer to the question of not using place names, etc.
The Stamp Manual itself does not describe how to act in such cases.

Does this determine the determination of a stamp or is this important for stamp history?

For both.
Determination: Esquerdo already indicated that:
I can already imagine that you have to fill in Questa for both John Waddington and Questa lithographically printed stamps and then you can only make a distinction based on type,

Stamp history: The more you know about the stamps you collect, the more joy the hobby brings you.

And there are many other benefits.
For example, if it says Stamperija or House of Questa, an experienced collector already knows enough about the item itself.
It is also nice to see how a Dutch printer can print stamps worldwide. To the furthest corner of Napoleon Island #4211215 .
Also help when searching: sometimes the printer insists #2254587 .
You will be unlucky if that printer now has a completely different name due to reorganizations, restructurings and takeovers...

Indeed Raoul62 and Collectioneur the search function is also very important. For example #349639 can be found at Courvoisier (1880-2001) .

It is important that the exact name on the stamp is copied, try looking for it at the printers, #9941021 = BPOST. This is under Stamp Printing Company [Mechelen, Belgium] (IPM) . Not very useful.

The activities of which were taken over by WSP, which became ISP with Cartor, where the ISP collaboration consisted of a raster intaglio printing company WSP, a lithography printing company Cartor and a specialty printing company Courvoisier.

Another nice example.

There is a Heraclio Fournier printing house in front of it. This was located in Vitoria. Fournier printing companies are a mess. The name changed several times and there are branches. #679253 was printed by Hija de B. Fournier Burgos.

There are three variants in maroon. One has the name of the printing company 10 mm. long under the stamp image, a 15 mm. long and the later, by far most expensive one (pictured with this item) has no name of the printing company below the stamp image. Still, it is always useful to know which letters to measure, especially if the first or last letter is faintly printed or invisible due to a stamp.

By the way, with an almost identical perforation and slightly different color (sepia instead of maroon), it is a stamp printed by FNMT.

If printing company is required for identification, then I am curious how I can see which printing company printed it on a stamp? Because then I can filter/search with that data.

Or should I first consult a paper catalog to determine which printing company they have appointed for this purpose?

Well, the way the catalog works now. But yes, then it is better to use the paper catalogue. Then you are immediately relieved of the problem that someone has entered incorrect information, or worse, replaced good information with incorrect information.

The information does not match the picture, which is the later copy, if not the color is distorted and it is a copy from the other printing company, which does not appear at all in the catalogue.

No Collectioneur a paper catalog is not necessary. See my two examples above #349639 Courvoisier (bottom right) and #9941021 BPOST (bottom left). The printing company is stated on the stamp itself. I can provide hundreds of examples where the printing company is stated on the stamp.

Or he used the first image on Colnect or Stampworld that shows even the slightest similarity without looking at the details and then mixed all kinds of things together.
