More information
This website has a good explanation of z grill: http://www.siegelauctions.com/enc/zgrill.htm Maybe someone could cite some of this information in the article? I think the timeline and illustration would be especially helpful. 97.102.133.189 (talk) 00:15, 26 July 2011 (UTC)


 * It's very difficult to understand the grill process with the descriptions and pictures in this article without seeing the backs of these stamps. And I can't understand the horizontal vs. vertical points of the z-grill even with photos. Flight Risk (talk) 20:55, 24 December 2021 (UTC)

It doesn't seem appropriate to me that the Z-Grill page is specifically about the 1c Franklin stamp. There are other Z-Grill stamps and even though I am a very amateur stamp collector, my friends and I have always referred to the type of stamp as the Z-Grill and the individual stamps by their names ("1c Franklin Z", "10c Washington Z", etc.). By starting the article with "The Benjamin Franklin Z Grill, or simply "Z-Grill", is a 1-cent ...", the article implies that the Franklin is the only Z-grill before briefly mentioning the others and goes on to only talk of the 1c Franklin in detail.

I wanted to check here before making any notable changes to this article. What I propose is a change to the order the order where the first part of the article gives a brief description of what a Z-Grill stamp is, the 2nd section speaks of the most famous Z-Grill stamps (plural) detailing the known stamps of these most famous, and then continue with the Numbering and Characteristics (which are more generically written.
