Wallace Brothers of Finsbury Pavement, London prepared a set of 7 stamps: 1) ½d QV in brown, 2) 1d QV in orange 3) 1½d QV in green, 4) 2d Edward VIII as child in purple, 5) 3d Edward VII & Alexandra in red, 6) 4d Edward VII & Alexandra in blue, and 7) 6d Duke & Duchess of York in grey. Because the stamps had denominations, people began using them for postage, and the company was asked to stop selling the stamps. There are shade varieties for the QV and EVIII stamps. ...
