It was in with the "Postage Due" section. If you catch the light right there appears to be an '8' in the middle at the top of an oval.   |

Nick-named a “poached egg”. It is from a coil of “stamps” used in GB 1930s to test coin operated stamp machines were working ok
not sure about your figure 8 though , just a trick of the light?

Wow!
I just googled "poached egg stamp".
Thanks!!!!!!!!!!
1930s is right.
My Father-in-Law collected 4,000 stamps between 1936 and 1940.
