Tina,
When you manage to make the scan bigger please post a pic. I have the decimal set [see below] and would love to know if there are any differences apart from the value.

This lovely strike post issue was for use in Glasgow [Scotland] if my memory serves me well [Which it may not,so if someone more knowledgable than I will come forward.....need some help from someone else in Israel methinks!]. Contrary to Warrehouse's idea I believe your Olive green example to be the lower value but I have not found a pre-decimal set yet.
Still looking......and good luck Tina !

In the meantime, the decimal set***



Londonbus1

*** Many strike post stamps in the UK were issued in Sterling and decimal values or overprinted. The Postal strike was ongoing when decimalization came about. I wish I had been a strike post collector then.....but sadly I did not even collect !

This is the Bristol-Bath Mail coach, so if it was issued for use in Glasgow it seems rather odd !!
Never thought about that before

The issues Londonbus1 has shown were issued on Feb, 15, 1971 during the UK currency change. Then making your stamp valid for one week only, I believe to be rarer. A keeper if you like!

Tina, You can use whatever photo editing program that may have come with your computer or with any digital camera you may own will also have a program to edit/enlarge image. If you have it!
