The first is a stamp marging postmarked in 1909 so probably belonging to the King Edward VII era or Queen Victoria perhaps also.
The embossed 'cut square', a 'cut out' from an envelope, a King George (KGV) era 1-1/2d brown, no number here at present.
I am not sure about the GB or UK meter stamp or ATM nowadays perhaps. |

Thanks Puzzler. I found out the Postage Meter Stamp is one of GB's earliest, from the early-mid 1920's. |

Marginal pillars started being used in the late Queen Victoria era and continued on to these Edwards:  By the way, the heavy horizontal lines on our examples are usually called Jubilee lines. You'll often see margin stamps with the lines, but without the pillars.  |

Your Edward 7 item is part of an interpane gutter. These were stamp sized as yours is and they separated one lot of stamps from the one underneath. Because they were stamp sized they were printed with "vertical ladder" markings as a security measure to prevent anyone printing on them. |

Does anyone know the era or year for that stationary cover stamp? Eventually it will probably end up on ebay and, although my guess is that it's not worth a whole lot, I would at least like to make sure I'm giving accurate info. Thanks again for all the info on the others. I'm literally learning something new everyday x 1000! |

UK also would call it a "cut square" as a "cut-out" refers to an imprinted stamp like that cut out of an item of postal stationery and then used on another item of post. |

Hi scotzm,
In the UK "cut-out" is generally used with both meanings. For example, Huggins & Baker in their catalogue use "cut-out" to mean an imprinted stamp cut from postal stationery (without referring to re-use). |

Do you think cut-out would refer to those cut squares that have been cut to shape around the oval shape more than just squared off leaving a margin of paper? |

Ha, I have quite a few of THESE too. I could say what I think the answer is but alas, it would just be a guess. |

Years ago albums had spaces for these, or no spaces at all, just descriptions. Picture off of ebay years ago I saved showing some cut squares and cut-outs at bottom right. Neat!   Just design your own album pages now and make spaces for them! Yah! |
