Help Identifying Stamps Without Printed Country Name

It's most likely the case that it's me who's missing something haha! but if anyone can help me identify the country of origin for these , I would greatly appreciate it!

Both are Great Britain.
Edit: The cat number depends on perfs and watermark. The top stamp is King George V and the bottome is King Edward VII

Thank you Russ! :)
At least now I know where to look for more info :)

Ash, Great Britain, never has and is the only country (supposedly) allowed to produce stamps without their country name on them. - Jeff

The UPU regulations require that all countries include their name on their stamps, except Great Britain (who I would guess, won this privilege by producing the first stamp).

Smauggie is correct that GB is exempt from the UPU rule -- although all their stamps have the monarch on them somewhere.

Some time ago, we had an interesting thread about all the times the USA has broken the UPU "rule" ...

Thanks for the link KirkS. It saved you guys from having to eventually read a post about the "denominationless" US stamps I have. ha! *Ash needs to remember* - Thorough catalogue scan through and google search BEFORE consulting the SCF community with my "no brainers"

I don't think it was a no-brainer question Ash.

Everyone on this forum remembers their learning curve. Questions are based on collecting experience and all questions are important. There is a lot of collecting experience (sounds better than old people) here to help, never be afaid to post questions.

Ash, don't be hesitant to ask any questions. We are or were in the same boat as you in developing our knowledge of the hobby. There are many stamps where I couldn't tell you the country of origin.

The original post is a very legitimate question. There are actually much more than a handful of valid postage stamps that don't have the country name on it. Although most of these were pre-UPU, there are some examples post-UPU. If I understand correctly, the UPU rules apply to UPU member recognition of international msil, not domestic mail. A country is free to print whatever type of stamp it wants for domestic use.

Even if I end up regretting (to a certain extent)posting my questions (sometimes) I will continue posting regardless. :-D I appreciate the information and knowledge shared whether its "common sense" or not :) Thanks for everything guys! Great info! ~Ash
