Congrats, Rod! Indeed, it is still an empty space in my album. I once passed up on one in a collection that was VF centered with great perfs, but was crayon canceled. In hindsight, everytime I see that empty space, I think about the one that got away...

Hi Kim,



Kim would that have been a Registration mark? (Red or Blue?) I am ignorant of the usage of this lady, what postal usage may she have been used for? any ideas?
From what I see on ebay, "Registered" appears on a few.

A nice clean example of the £1

I always assumed that the pound issues were use primarily for packages -- although I've definitely seen registration cancels on them.

I asked the dealer about the crayon mark (this was nearly 2 decades ago and he was not a GB expert) -- and he replied that the postal employees would sometimes use whatever was available, which in the case of GB, were these crayons or color pencils. I've seen them before on other early GB stamps, usually shilling and pound values, always horizontally across, red or blue. So the dealer gave me the impression that it was the equivalent of a pen cancel. We have a GB specialist at the shows, but I never bothered to ask him.

Will need one of the GB cancel specialists here to chime in. Otherwise, if I go to the show this weekend (not sure I'll have time), I'll ask that GB specialist.

Right...that sounds very much like Registration, Hmm you may have really missed out there
