Thomas De LA Rue : British Military Special Vouchers.

Any / All info welcomed
Common?
if not can this dodgy item be cleaned? if so how?

Thanks

I can't comment on rarity, but I would figure washing it wouldn't be a problem. The only concern is fugitive inks, but I highly doubt they would have used that on a bill. Try a soak in a cold water/sea salt solution followed by a distilled water rinse soak and see what happens. If you have improvement with that, you could redo the process adding a first soak with warm water/green palmolive dishsoap, then the same two steps I mentioned a second ago.

I would figure a noticeable improvement to the overall appearance.

Have a good one,

Rod, a little info:

Does anyone here can please help me identify a British stamp?

Surely someone would Nicole. Is it red or green?

Rod I know nothing technically about these, in terms of number issued or any different types, but I believe they are not uncommon. I found a few amongst my Grandparent's effects, and they are fairly readily and cheaply available on ebay (that being one of my personal default measures of whether an item is "rare" or not )

Nicole - post a new topic and a description of your stamp - even better a picture - and I'm sure someone can help you.

Went to have a look at mine (I have 3d, 6d and 1/-) I see they are a slightly different design, also De La Rue. Yours says second series. may be that's the difference?

Thanks Skilo, Russ, Stampgal,
have enough to make an interesting page,
so it's off to the bath with Mr. Sixpence
whilst I try to figure out how to mount it.

Hi Nicole,
these are called "Machins"
you would be best, by starting a new thread on SCF
"GB : Machin query"
Lots of English collectors here

The 1/9d (1 shilling and ninepence)
is a predecimal machin

They live in 1967

So I guess mine are not that special? lol :(

Hey! it's special...it's yours :)
There's no stamp so valuable
as the one you don't have :)

Lol you right.

Thanks a LOT! :D
