S.S.S. Emergency Mail Service from Feb 8th 1971.
Same label issued in Decimal currency from Feb. 15th.
Issued in sheets of 25 with margins all round.

Used mostly colourful cancels, bright colours.

One of the nicer 1971 Strike labels also because they saw actual postal use.

Hi AnthonyUK and Londonbus1

Thank you for that information.
Are they listed in catalogues or just a curiosity?
Regards
