Got it. Thanks. I dont have the cross hatch backing. measurements are as listed - they are close. But none exactly as catalog states 22.1 so I figure 22 mm is very very close even If catalog reads "exactly". It's the teeth I cannot determine. Im leaning towards all De La Rue. |

That 5s on the left-hand side is a re-engraved stamp and not a De La Rue stamp with large teeth at top. |

You are right!. I used Stamps4Life's images just to show how a large teeth looks like. Here you can see the differences: Up= De la Rue. Down= Bradbury Wilkinson :   |

That estimate looks well off, by the way. I'd say! That looks like a solid flip to Siegel if it could be had at that estimate. Probably a $3000 plus stamp at one of their auctions. They have never sold an unmounted mint corner margin copy. Two of the right bidders might get it well above 3k. |

thats a good article. as noted, it helps to have an reference example of the teeth - which I didnt. And experience lacking here, I had no clue because to my untrained eye, both stamps are pretty close to each other teeth wise. |

Either the gum picked up dirt, or that one pound seahorse has been hinged at some point. |

Yes, there's a sign of something around the centre of the stamp.
Toovey's won't get the best prices, as they don't pack and post - you need to collect or arrange for a third party to do so for you. |
