Wasn't 100% sure what category to list these in since I'm not sure when they came out, their usage and reason for existance. I am guessing they are fairly modern and know private companies pop up during strikes but not sure of the strike history in the UK postal system or if these would fall into the cinderella bracket. Thanks for any insight .

Thanks Nitrolures,
I do need one stamp, I only have images of this one.

However, I would rather you put it up for auction here,
A block of 12 went last saturday in Perth for $17

I have looked at that label hundreds of times,
and just noticed the squiggly line is a bass clef.

This thread keeps throwing me off because I see UK and the the denomination "schilling" which is an Austrian currency.

The GB catalogue by Ralph Philips doe snot shed any light on this issue.
It was issued in 1971 and was one of the labels that did see actual postal use.
Other than that, zilch !
