in a $30 mixed bunch of off paper GB.
SG 442b (Scott 213b) 2d orange with sideways watermark, strip of 3. Not sure what else i'm going to find but that's already filled a gap in the collection.

There were 80 grams of stamps in total ranging from 1902-1953. At present I have just sorted into sets and years.
Now comes the part where I wish watermark detection could be automatic, now there is a use for AI.

re: Nice find



My hair has fallen out and my knees have dropped off having turned green with envy!

Nice not to have the postmark obliterating the stamps.

Ian, not a Scotsman showing his knees, arghhh.
Just to make it worse it was a UK seller on that other site, seems to have been mostly from loose stuff with a few previously hinged and some needing soaking.
Always worth a sort through for the possible watermark varieties.
Will keep me busy when the snow arrives.

re: Nice find

Yup!

Its always one of the joys sorting through a mixed lot or an old album/stockbook. You never know what you might find.

An item may not be valuable but may set you off into a different area of collecting.

A really fortuitous find, Phil
Did your catalog mention that it is from a sideways delivered coil strip ?
And I think the crown is to the left side. But I cannot trust my yes for that

re: Nice find

Yes Charlie, crown is to the left when viewed from front of stamps. Crown is pointing to right when viewed from the back, second image.
I figured it was from a coil or booklet because of the trimmed perfs along the top. Thanks for clarifying which.

re: Nice find

I'm intrigued by the postmark - is it a parcel cancel?

re: Nice find

I would imagine it is a parcel postmark although possibly from a newspaper wrapper.

Looks like the usual style of parcel cancellation.
