Looks like an alternate red and white oblique striped barbers pole. Is this referred to as the 'Barber Cent'?..  |

It's a side view of that black rectangle in 2001 A Space Odyssey.

That's what I was thinking, a monolith.

No ideas on this? I'm curious as well, it doesn't look like ordinary column doubling.

Looks like the tip of a tiny drill bit, I wonder if it might have gotten into the press briefly and did this damage. Just a thought  |

It would have had to damage the die to make it raised. If it damaged the die then a lot more examples would be known. Looks like a thread fiber? It not just laying on the surface is it?

I called it a 'barber's pole'. Closer examination shows it as being suspended in mid air, and not sitting on the floor.
I have come to thinking that this error is caused by die damage, due to a short length of twined copper wire being caught on the die face.

Whatever did the damage to the die had to be a harder than the steel in the die. Just a thought |

Maybe high tensile steel wire? If it is fine wire filaments, they have been flattened to give the 'barber pole' appearance.

I tried to get a closer shot, this is the best I could get.   |
