Strangely, the largest multiple of the 1s with control numbers that I have seen, is only strips of 3, though there are 2 of them.
A02653 to A02655 has an example of the famous | for T flaw at A02654 in the middle. The other strip of 3 is A02622 to A02624 which also overlaps a remainder block of 4.
This flaw is mostly found on the 2s6d, but should also be on the 5s, though I have not yet seen any. Image courtesy of Steve Lawrie.
Interestingly I have seen some of these where it seems that the '1' of the 1/- value
has been cleared out except part of the base where it touched the frame, then another value added.

It would seem that the 1/- was made first and then modified to produce the 2/6d and 5/- values.
Why wasn't a 'master' transfer block with no face value used?
I can only assume that when the 1/- plate was made, there were no plans for other values.
Anyway, this may sometimes help in confirming location.
Here is a break-down of Group 2. (1/-, 2/6d, 5/-) scans by quantities and column.
| Column | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 0 | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1/- Qty | 3 | 3 | 5 | 5 | 10 | 2 | 2 | 3 | 5 | 3 | 41 |
| 2/6d Qty | 6 | 10 | 8 | 6 | 8 | 7 | 8 | 10 | 4 | 7 | 74 |
| 5/- Qty | 4 | 5 | 2 | 2 | 6 | 2 | 1 | 2 | 2 | 4 | 30 |
| Totals | 13 | 18 | 15 | 13 | 24 | 11 | 11 | 15 | 11 | 14 | 145 |
An interesting peak at column-5, caused mostly by 1/- stamps.
Whilst the 1/- forms the beginning of this group, the other values have important differences.
The two panes of the 1/- value were inverted relative to each other with about half an inch or 13mm between panes and half that between stamps within the panes.
With the 2/6d and 5/- values, both panes were the same way up, with again probably about half an inch or 13mm between panes, but significantly
more below the bottom pane. Both panes of the 2/6d and 5/- values were created from one of the 1/- panes, and I will designate that 1/- pane as Pane 1.
For the other values, I will use Pane 1 to indicate the top pane, though in practice it may not be easy to determine which that was.
I will and at least be consistent until evidence emerges to distinguish them.

| Item 1 - Top row | Item 2 - Top row extension | Item 3 - Rows 2 and 3 | Item 4 - Tête-bêche pairs | Item 5 - Row 4 | Item 6 - 2/6d Sheet 21 |
Here are some examples of the 1/- from position 4A:
The two examples on the right are to show that the flaws at the top-left are not simply printing flaws.
The centre stamp has selvedge indicating the top of its pane. I will refer to it as Key item 1.
The two, column 4, 2s6d stamps have very similar flaws inherited from the Pane-1, shilling stamp, but the values are drawn differently. They are from different panes.
Both panes were produced from the same, column-4, 1/- pane. The 5/- example shows that it too was from the same 1/- pane.
Additionally, because the 1/- was from the top of its pane, we know that these are from the top of their panes.
C04364 is from this strip of 9, from C04362 to C04370:
This strip, from C04362 to C04370, I now know to be from the top row of pane 1.
The top-left stamp of this block has flaws matching the left-hand 1/- stamp shown above.
That tells us that it is from 4A pane-2, the top-right is 5A pane-2, and the stamps below are 4B and 5B. They have some fairly distinctive flaws that can be matched.
4B matches A02694 and 5B matches A02695. I will refer to this block as Key item 2.
The top stamps in this block below are similar, but different to the bottom stamps of the block above.
This is pane-1, and here, 4B matches C04344 and 5B matches C04305 on 2/6d stamps.
The stamps below are thus 4C and 5C of Pane-1. The flaws on 5C are particularly significant. I will refer to this block as Key item 3.
A matching 2/6 for position 4a pane 1 extends this to the 2/6, but we have two different column 3 stamps with large margins at the top, implying a gap between the panes on the 2/6 sheet, probably intended for guillotining.
These 2/6d top row stamps also help to extend Key item 2.
Of particular significance for this group are the Tête-bêche pairs. We know they represent the fifth row, row-E of each pane, though working out which pane is which for each pair may be a problem.
I have defined pane-1 of the 1/- stamps as being that which was used to produce the other values, so a comparison with the other values is essential.
This is a reconstruction (at half my normal size) of the 7 scans that I have of tête-bêche pairs.
Amazingly they are all from different positions out of the possible 10, these are columns 2 to 8.
I now know that there is another pair of tête-bêche pairs in the Royal collection. I think it very likely that it is the pair missing from the right-hand end, columns 9 and 0, possibly with side-selvedge.
That leaves only column 1 to find, again possibly with side-selvedge - come on, own up, who has it ?
Some certainly look like they came from the same sheet, others probably not. I have been guided though by the horizontal creasing.
It is also likely that some have been trimmed to improve appearance. I am hopeful that the remaining 3 columns can perhaps be shown here one day.
Column 7/4 - courtesy of the Great Britain Philatelic Society was illustrated in the Langmead & Huggins book, but I don't know who owns it now.
I have shown seven tête-bêche pair examples above. They are all of different columns out of the possible 10. What are the chances ?
Well, it depends a lot on how many sheets were broken up to produce them.
number of 1/- sheets without controls that were broken up
. Number of tête-bêche pairs plated and different
.
. Probability %
Feel free to play with the numbers.
| I need to show how I calculated this, so here goes : It is a series with a term for each pair shown. The first term is 1.0 because with only 1, it must be unique, but adding another introduces a chance that it could be a duplicate if more than 1 sheet was broken up. This gives : Using n for the number of sheets broken up, and the number of terms, including the first "[ 1 ]" is the number of pairs. [ 1 ] x [ 9n / (9n + (n - 1))] x [ 8n / (8n + 2(n - 1))] x [ 7n / (7n + 3(n - 1))] x [ 6n / (6n + 4(n - 1))] x [ 5n / (5n + 5(n - 1))] x [ 4n / (4n + 6(n - 1))] . . . . . . It is shown with 7 terms for the current situation. subsequent terms would follow the same pattern. The end result is multiplied by 100 to give it as a percentage. |
Feel free to correct me if I have it wrong, I am not infallible. I do know that it is not quite correct because I have treated the pair of tête-bêche pairs as being independent when they are not.
Not quite sure how to handle that. However, it seems to me to be likely that all of the tête-bêche pairs came from a single sheet. It makes me wonder how many of the other examples without controls came from that same sheet.
I will start with this, it is the central block from a complete sheet of 100 stamps, with 5E and 6E of both panes.
| Pane-1, 5E | Pane-1, 6E | C02236 at 6E (pane-2) |
 |
 |
|
 |
||
| Pane-2, 6E | Pane-2, 5E | Poor image of C02195 at 5E (pane-1) |
This is a digitally-rejoined pair of tête-bêche pairs, from 3E and 4E (pane-1, top) / 7E and 8E (pane-2, bottom). The tête-bêche pairs at left and right are inverted to aid comparison of pane differences.
| Pane-2, 3E | Pane-1, Top-left (3E) corresponds to a 2/6d remainder and top-right (4E) corresponds to another 2/6d remainder | Pane-2, 4E |
 |
 |
 |
| Pane-1, 8E | Pane-2. Bottom-left (8E) corresponds to A02898, bottom-right (7E) I don't have another example of, but is very similar to C04377. | Pane-1, 7E |
This is probably the best know flaw on these, the '|' for 'T' flaw in 'TELEGRAPH'.
I needed a 'Key Item' in the 'D-row' and it turns out, that currently at least, D4 is the only location where all the other column 4 stamps are known.
This can only be D4. I know what D4 pane-1 must look like, but I only have one image of the 1/-, so I don't know if pane-2 of the 1/- has this flaw.
It is though on both panes of the 2/6d and should be on both panes of the 5/- also. Key item 5.
Lastly, and new Key item 6 - C02132 on 2/6d Sheet 21.
When I first looked at C02132 (courtesy of Ian Pinwill), I thought that the right side must be folded over, but no, it was obscured during printing by something. This was fairly significant for this one impression,
but think what it must have done to the sheet ! Presumably a piece of paper must have been on the sheet of paper when it was printed.
The double-touch suggests a "windy environment". Clearly the whole sheet was not written off, I have 8 other images of stamps from it, but it looks likely that at least some impressions were lost.
What then happened when they were numbered? Presumably the numbering device incremented with each impression, so any blank areas would either have been numbered or subsequent impressions would have received the wrong number.
This has to be kept in mind for other 2/6d sheet 21 stamps.
In combination, the different values of this group allow us to extend identification of stamps outwards from the 'Key Items'.
I will use the term 'park' to indicate that I have allocated a provisional place in the sheet which does not conflict with other information.
Whilst it is my best guess, it is only that and may need to be corrected as more information is found.
Initially I tried to show all values on one 'sheet'. Since the bottom shilling pane was upside-down, this became confusing.
Now I am using a separate 'sheet' for it.
The top and bottom panes on at least some sheets may have been separated by guillotine in batches before numbering.
The only known tête-bêche pairs are of one shilling values.
Previous writers have implied that other values were printed from plates in the same format, however there is evidence that at least some were not.
Some stamps are from the bottom row with selvedge too wide for the tête-bêche layout above.
Click on control numbers to see images.
Some of these items (A02645, A02705, C04097 and G01681) are of stamps that can be seen here - BT Archive.
A discovery with the Bonelli 6d stamps may offer a clue to some of these anomalies.
There is direct proof of a substituted cliché of at least one, and possibly two positions on the bottom row of the sheet.
If for example with G01751, a column 5 cliché was used to repair position 1B (on the left edge), it could explain it,
but it would have to have been a 1/- cliché to require the value to have been re-done.
Similarly for G01570/G01870 (also on the edge of the plate), a substitution could account for the problem.
A02635 is also in an exposed position. Hopefully more examples will make things clear.
| Breakdown of flaws by column: | |||||||||

I have 10 scans from Group 2, column 1 though one is rather small, looking at them:
 |
 |
 |
| Group 2, Column 1, Type a on C04161 and C04261. C04161 is on the same strip as C04163 which matches a remainder with top selvedge - 1a-pane 1. This is similar to C02211 and a remainder with top selvedge - 1a-pane 2. |
Group 2, Column 1, Type b on A02631 and A02671 G01791 has some features in common, but is on the same strip as G01799 which does not match C02219(adjoining C02218) at 9A. A02631 is on the same strip as A02637/9 - 1A-pane 1. A02671 is on the same strip as A02674 - 1A-pane 2. |
Group 2, Column 1, Type a? on G01791. These flaws are similar to Type b, but this is on the same strip as G01799 Note the mark on the shamrock is similar to 8A. 'Parking' at 1a-pane 2. |
 |
 |
 |
| Group 2, Column 1, Type a on G01801. These flaws are also on the 5/- remainder from the bottom-left of a sheet. G01801 joins G01802. 'parking' at 1e-pane 2. |
Group 2, Column 1, Type b on A02841. A few features, some of which might be constant. No close matches. The closest without conflict is G01751 because of the base of the '1'. However G01751 does not seem to fit anywhere either. 'parking' this at 1b-pane 2. |
Group 2, Column 1, Type c on A02861, C04391, G01671, a 1s and a 5/- remainder. A few features. Some of these match C04241 which adjoins C04242. - pane 1. A02861 is on the same strip as A02863-65. C04241 has less flaws and the 2 6 lower down. C04391 is on the same strip as C04395 and C04397. G01671 on strip with G01675. 'parking' the 5/- remainder at 1c-pane 1. and the others at 1c-pane 2. |
 |
 |
 |
| Group 2, Column 1, Type d on C04411 and two 2s6d remainders. This is on the same strip as C04413, 16 and 18. Placing at 1B-pane 2. |
Group 2, Column 1, Type ? on G01751 This looks like a 5C stamp, but it doesn't match either pane ! It does not match G01681 on the strip with G01682 etc, but there are few options. 'Parking' at 1B-pane 2. |
I am left with this. C04231. This adjoins C04232 at 2D pane 2 It will probably not be very useful. Placing at 1D pane 2. |
I have 14 scans from Group 2, column 2, more than any others, plus a tête-bêche pair.
I found (arguably) 6 different types out of the 13 examples I had scans of.
 |
 |
 |
| Group 2, Column 2, Type a on G01622, C04242 and C04492. C04242 is similar to C04492 except for the value and adjoins C04241 (p1). There is also a 5/- remainder with different value to G01622. G01625 is at 5C-p1, parking G01622 and C04242 at 2C-pane 1. Parking C04492 and 5/- remainder at 2C-pane 2. |
Group 2, Column 2, Type ba on A02712, C02162, C04082 and C04382. Also on a 1s remainder. See also Type bb. C04382 is on the same strip as C04384 that is an '|' for 'T' variety. C04082 is on the same strip as C04083 and C04085. Type bb is at 2D-pane 2 So I will 'park' these at 2D-pane 1 . |
Group 2, Column 2, Type bb on C04142 and C04232. This is like Type ba except for the mark under the 'H'. C04142 is on the same strip as C04143 and C04144. So I will 'park' this at 2D-pane 2 . |
 |
 |
 |
| Group 2, Column 2, Type c on C04162 and C04362. C04162 is on the same strip as C04163 which matches a remainder with top selvedge. 2a-pane 1. |
Group 2, Column 2, Type da on A02872, C04342 and G01682. C04342 is on the same strip as C04343 and 4, so parking at 2B-pane 1. C04452 is similar, But same strip as C04457, so parking that at 2B-pane 2. C02132 (with part obscured) is like C04452, so parking that at 2B-pane 2. A02872 is on the same strip as A02877. Parking these at 2B-pane 2 . |
Group 2, Column 2, Type da on A02872. This is like the 2/6 except it does not have the broken 'E', hence parking this at 2B-pane 2. |
 |
 |
 |
| Group 2, Column 2, Type db on A02622 and A02722. 2722 adjoins A02723; A02622 adjoins A02623 and A02624. This is like the 1/- Pane 2 except an extra couple of flaws, hence parking this at 2B-pane 1. |
Group 2, Column 2, Type e on G1702, G01802 and G01642. G01802 joins G01801 which matches a remainder from bottom of sheet. 'Parking' that at 2e-pane 2. G01642 has the value in a different place, 'Parking' that at. 2e-pane 1. These conflict with Type f The adjoining G01643 also conflicts with 3E-p2. |
Group 2, Column 2, Type f on a TB pair with Col-9. This has flaws that do not seem to match the others. The other half partially matches A02739 Verified as 2E-pane 1, but perhaps should be pane 2. |
This would give 50 different stamps per pane. A second pane may or may not have the values inscribed differently,
depending on whether they were inscribed before or after the first pane was duplicated.
I have 15 scans from Group 2, column 3. They are fairly good, and there are also 2 tête-bêche pair scans.
 |
 |
 |
| Group 2, Column 3, Type aa on C04163, C04363 & C04463. Also on a 2/6 remainder from the top row in pair with column 4. and a 5s remainder - 3a-pane 1. |
Group 2, Column 3, Type ab on C02183. This matches a remainder, also from the top row. 3A-pane 2. |
Group 2, Column 3, Type ac on A02673. A few features, some may be constant. This joins A02674 so should be 3A-pane 2 but is not a good match to Type ab. |
 |
 |
 |
| Group 2, Column 3, Type b on A02863, C04193 and G01873. A02863 is on a strip of 3 on C-row. There are two 5/- remainders with flaws matching the green ones. They also match G01873 except the value. This is on the same strip as C04195 which matches C04395. 'Parking' therefor at 3c-pane 2 . Remainders at 3c-pane 1 (extra flaw). |
Group 2, Column 3, Type ca on A02623, A02723, A02773 and 2 x 1/- rem. Some of these features are on the 2/6d and 5s Panes. A02623 is on the same strip as A02622 and A02624 (pane 1) 'Parking' A02623 and A02723 at 3B-pane 1. 'Parking' A02773 at 3B-pane 2. |
Group 2, Column 3, Type cb on G01633, C04413 and C04343. Some of these features are on the 1/- remainder at 3B. G01633 is on the same strip as G01636 and G01639, 'Parking' it at 3B-pane 2 . C04343 is on the same strip as C04342 and C04344, 'Parking' it at 3B-pane 1 . C04413 is on the same strip as C04416 and C04418, 'Parking' it at 3B-pane 2 . |
 |
| Group 2, Column 3, Type d on (damaged)A02653, a 1s remainder and (perhaps) C04143 ? A02653 is on the same strip as A02654 and A02655. A02654 matches C04144 on the same strip as C04143. A02653 is not a very good match for C04143, except the second 'E' in 'TELEGRAPH' has a similarly rounded top corner. C0483 is similar and at 3D pane 1 due to others on the same strip. It may be that the A02653-5 strip is from pane 2. 'Parking' at 3d-pane 1 . |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| Group 2, Column 3, Type ea on a tête-bêche pair. In theory these should both be from column 3, but opposite panes. They have some common flaws and some different flaws. Because of the other half, this is 'parked' at 3e-pane 1. |
Group 2, Column 3, Type eb on a tête-bêche pair and A02793. In theory these should both be from column 3, but opposite panes. They have some common flaws and some different flaws. Because of the other half, this is 'parked' at 3E-pane 2. |
Group 2, Column 3, Type ec on 2/6 remainder. 'parked' at 3E-pane 2. |
|
 |
| Group 2, Column 3, Type ed on G01643. G01643 is on the same strip as G01642 (2E pane 1). It does not match 3E pane 1. See remainders above. 'parking' at 3E-pane 1. |
I have 11 scans from Group 2, column 4 and have a couple of 1/- remainder blocks shown above.
 |
 |
 |
| Group 2, Column 4, Type a on A02654, middle of a strip of 3. Placed at 4d-pane 1 |
Group 2, Column 4, Type a on C04144 and C04434 for one pane and C04384 for the other. Also on A02654. Langmead & Huggins state that there is only one per sheet, but they don't know the position ! C04144 and C04434 both have a flaw on the 'E' of 'ENGLISH' that is not on C04384. Also the '2' of the value is different. There is clearly one per pane on the 2/6 sheet, though there may be only one on the 1/- sheet. Parking A02654 and C04384 at 4d-pane 1 and the other two at 4d-pane 2 because C04144 is on the same strip as C04142/3/7. |
|
 |
|
| Group 2, Column 4, Type ba on A02674 and A02784, A02674 is on the same strip as A02671 and A02673. These are placed at 4A-pane 2. |
Group 2, Column 4, Type bb on C04364 and C04114, C04364 is on the same strip as C04363. Also on a remainder from the top row in pair with col.3, and also two 1s rems. + 5s rem. - 4a-pane 1. C04114 is slightly different, placing at 4A-pane 2. |
 |
 |
 |
| Group 2, Column 4, Type ca on G01684 and C04344. A02694 is similar, but from the other pane. Matches 1s remainder block. 4B-pane 1. |
Group 2, Column 4, Type cb on A02694, A02624, A02794, some 1/- remainders and perhaps G01574. A2794 doesn't have the broken 'E'. A02624 adjoins A02622,3. This is similar to Type ca but different. so placing A02694 at 4b-pane 2. A02624, A02794 at 4B-pane 1. |
Group 2, Column 4, Type d on A02864. There are a number of features, matches remainder block of the opposite pane, and a remainder single. Same strip as A02865, 4C-pane 2. |
 |
 |
| Group 2, Column 4, Type ea on A02734 (same row as A02739). This matches one of the L&H tête-bêche pair stamps. It is also quite a good match for the 2/6 remainder from the bottom of a sheet. A02739 is at 9E-pane 1, so 'parking' A02734 at 4E-pane 1. |
Group 2, Column 4, Type eb on A02794 A02794 is on the same row as A02798 and A02799. This matches one of the L&H tête-bêche pair stamps. 'parking' A02794 at 4E-pane 2 . |
I have 24 scans from Group 2, column 5 and have a couple of 1/- remainder blocks shown above.
 |
 |
 |
| Group 2, Col. 5, Type a on A02865 (5cp2), C04195, C04245, G01625. 5c-p1 (G01765, G01675 and the C0s have an extra dot near the break). (C04245 is on the same strip as C04241 on pane 1). C04395 has the value different to C04245. Placing at 5C-pane 2 |
Group 2, Column 5, Type a on A02705 (BT Archive ) and a remainder block of four. The large green flaw towards the top, I had assumed was not constant until I saw A02705. It is not on the 2/6d or 5/-, so I need to reconsider which block of four is in which pane since I am defining pane 1 of the 1/- as that which produced the 2/6d and 5/-. |
Group 2, Column 5, Type b on A02825, allocated 5b-pane 1. on C04305 and similar to A02695 and A02875. C04155, a 2s6d remainder and 5s remainder are similar. Allocating C04305 to 5B-pane 1. Allocating C04155 and the 2 remainders to 5B-pane 2. |
 |
 |
 |
| Group 2, Column 5, Type c on A02635 The flaw marked in green may not be constant, I have no other example scan. |
Group 2, Column 5, Type c This is part of a block of 4, currently allocated to Pane 2. Comparisons of 4A suggest that it belongs there. |
Group 2, Col 5, Type c on C04265,C04365,G01695,G01795 these are on the same strips as C04261/8 and C04363 respectively. Also very similar to a 5s remainder and a 1/- remainder block (5a p2). The 5s remainder has large margin at top, G01695 has the value different. Allocating C04265, C04365 and the 5s remainder to 5a-pane 1. |

| Group 2, Column 5, Type da on A02655, C04085 and G01715 A02655 is on the same strip as A02653 and A02654. So I will 'park' A02655 and G01715 at 5D-pane 1 . C04085 matches a 5D-p2 remainder but C04082 matches D2-p1. parking C04085 at 5D-p1 |
Group 2, Column 5, Type db on A02715 and a remainder. There are a number of features in common with Type da A02715 is on the same strip as A02712 (now 2D-pane 2), So I will 'park' this at 5D-pane 2. |
Group 2, Column 5, Type e on tête-bêche pairs (AH). On A02645 (BTArchive). Also matches the poor image of C02195. Locating at 5E-pane 1. Pane 2 is slightly different. |
Again it looks like about 5 different types in this column, though it bothers me that there should be so many of one type.
The 5 examples of Type a, match on quite a few minor points as well as the ones indicated.
I have 11 scans from Group 2, column 6.
