Hi guys,

I used to collect ages ago when I was younger before the internet even existed as a mainstream communication tool and I have recently started collecting again with my daughter. We received a large box lot of cheaper stuff to get my daughter started and while sorting through all the goodies I found some prints on thick paper and in case of the 1 cent stamp, it's on a think cardboard. They appear to be some kind of pre-prints of 460, 543, and two of King George but I don't recognize them. The blue 1 cent is printed on cardboard and the back has handwriting as though written on a post card and someone just cut the print off the card. Is this some kind of pre-printed postage stationary perhaps?



Thanks in advance for your help!

Figures... I was looking for a week, I type this message and I find UX104 and UX105 and I gather the other two are in here someplace as well... and under Post Cards in the Postal Stationary section of the catalog that I previously never noticed.

Hello Faken, welocme to Stamp Community!

The cancels or postmarks look nice. They are collectible also and addd value.

The others are probably postal stationery (e, not a) and are listed in the Unitrade catalogue in the back along with postcards and envelopes and others interesting items.

Ah, the red 4c King George V (5th) is a #U65 preprinted prepaid envelope or a variant, depending whether it was printed on a #8 sized or #10 sized envelope. Hard to tell now.

The cut squares (cut from postcards or envelopes or postal band wrappers) are interesting to collect in and of themdselves.

See Rod222's thread on SCF here about World Mutilated Stationery.

for some ID's on some hard to recognize items.
