§ 05 — Chapter Five

on provenance

Every plate at Vibratorium passes through the Malone Schoolhouse — our four-stage authentication laboratory in the Inner Sunset. Forensic paper-pulp analysis, ink-batch spectroscopy, printer-mark correlation against the Erickson registry, and finally a recorded chain-of-custody affidavit. You can leave empty-headed imitations behind. What hangs on your wall has been touched, signed, smelled, and certified.

Philatelic Grading Codes
NMNear Mint — colour-true, no marks, original folds only.
VFVery Fine — minor handling, full ink density.
VGVery Good — soft fold, gentle edge tone.
GGood — present but worn; archival candidate.
Paper Pulp Forensics +

We compare fibre composition against the Hollander–Bemis dataset of US west-coast mill outputs 1965–1976. A mismatch is grounds for immediate disqualification.

Ink Spectroscopy +

Reflectance curves across 400–700nm catch modern day-glo substitutes within seconds.

Chain of Custody +

Notarised affidavit, sealed in archival sleeve, mailed with every plate over $1,000.

Printer Mark Registry +

We cross-reference Tea Lautrec, West Coast Litho and Levon Mosgofian against the Erickson dataset.
