OK, my local stamp club has a huge bin of stamps that I borrowed to see if I could fill in a few holes in my collection. This would normally be a huge waste of time to find 10-20 stamps, but I had nothing better to do. In looking through my Great Britain, I checked various watermarks to see if I could find an elusive variety. These two stamps showed up, and I can't locate them in the Stanley Gibbons. Looking for some help here.
Both are 2 1/2 d version of SG 155. The left stamp has a watermark 165 (St. Edward's Crown). The right stamp with the cut perfs on top has watermark 179 (Multiple crowns). Both watermarks, however, are Inverted per the Stanley Gibbons catalog forward. I compared with the many other examples in this huge bin, and these are the only ones with this orientation of the watermark. I can only find a sideways description for both, though 574e is described as Watermark Upright. Any help with proper SG identification of these would be appreciated.
