I have had a page of pre-printed GB watermarks on one of the storage cabinets in the stamp room for many years, that show a lot of the popular watermarks and they have suddenly disappeared. I would blame it on hurricane Ian, but that wouldn't work since we suffered minimal damage, mostly to bushes and trees. Whatever, I don't even remember where I found the one I had and didn't use it every day, but it is one of those things you only need occasionally and sure miss it when it's gone. I have tried the internet without any help of any sort. I didn't think it was so complicated, but guess it is. I have a SG catalog, but they don't help much either.

If anyone has any clues as to where to find such an item, I would certainly appreciate the help!

You need to be more specific (maybe it's me), your description "pre-printed GB watermarks on one of the storage cabinets" does not make sense to be! It might just be me.

re: Great Britain watermarks

Thanks to one and all that helped with this issue. Unfortunately I mentioned it as "pre-printed", when I should have just said "printed", which seemed to be misleading. I should have also mentioned mine had the watermarks listed by numerical numbers, like watermark 1 is the crown and CC underneath, while number 2 was the crown with CA underneath. It looked like a page out of Scott's and I was just looking at the other page that is still hanging there and it is from Scott's with a small page number that I couldn't even read with my tri-focal glasses, so I got a large magnifier and it said 35A and I looked in my 2018 Scott's and found what I was looking for as page 56A. This shows nine different watermarks, obviously the most popular ones, while some of the others only show for other British countries. Once again, I must mark this up to memory failure, knowing it had to be from Scott's but just didn't remember where to find it. I also spent a bit of time on the computer trying to find this item, to no avail.
Thank everyone for the assistance in this endeavor and the lists of other water marks shown.
Mike
