I mistook this stamp for Scott #173 design A91 2sh6p light brown perf.11x12 engraved wmkd.34 Large Crown and GvR produced between 1913 and 1918, the height of the first World War.
It's Scott #179 retouched printed in 1919. Thanks to Alanl for discovering the dot above the middle of the top frame.
Nice circular date stamp, although a bit runny, from Southwell, Nottinghamshire, appears dated 2 Aug 21.
Was the stamp cancelled three years after the #173 production ended ?
Perhaps not since we now know that this retouched Bradbury #179, Wilkinson & Co. was printed in 1919.
The back isn't perfect. More hinge gum than hinge, but ok for a century of neglect.
The crown is visible below the hinge mark. Squint for the crown
Thanks for viewing.
