Adding a lovely little MNH overprinted block I recently acquired: SG #104e, 1921 A lovely block indeed ! But how can you know that it is a booklet pane,Sc.104e (and not just a block of 4) ?

Good point, Werner ( salentin) In fact, Chris ( cjoprey) has posted that these are SG104e, a Gibbons number, but I just checked, and that is not correct. They are SG192, and the Gibbons Catalogue does not mention booklet panes at all. So, I have checked the Scott Catalogue, and #104e is, indeed, a Scott number. I agree with your comment, though, that this block may not be a booklet pane, which would make it a normal block of four, India Sc104 (SG192). Let's see if Chris will respond.

Unless there is a characteristic specific to the booklets, without the slevedge (both sides) is's hard to know. With many of the France carnets (booklets) they were printed with different dies in many (but not all cases) and have traits specific to them. However, lately I have adopted a 'proof positive" approach to have the booklet selvedge attached. Once in hand, I now have something to compare to for loose stamps.
Your 'group of four" is very nice, nicely centered.

Coming back to something I started yesterday ............. here is a better attempt at showing a few of the charity shop items from yesterday morning............ I've been blissfully unaware of issues from Gwalior and for some reason had never previously seen any stamps from there ............ seems that prior to Indian independence on 15 August 1947, Gwalior remained a princely state of the British Raj with the Scindia as the local rulers, and another of its claims to fame is that it was one of the major locations of rebellion during the 1857 uprising. It's a city in the central Indian state of Madhya Pradesh, and known for its palaces and temples. Here are a few stamps showing Victoria - Young Head and Old - Ed. VII - George V and George VI, though unfortunately, not as clean as I would like Working along that lines that Indian currency was 16 Annas to 1 Rupee, then it's probable that the 8 Anna stamp here (half Rupee) is the highest value here - correct me please if I'm way off with that:-) Quite why some of these issues show Gwalior in English text and others don't, I'm unsure - possibly to do with the location of the cancel.

Quite why some of these issues show Gwalior in English text and others don't, I'm unsure, possibly to do with the location of the cancel. The highest denomination of Gwaliyar stamps is 25R, not 8A. The bilingual overprints were meant for the public in general but the Devnagari overprints were exclusively for official stamps since most of the Gwaliyar State Administration staffs were comfortable only in Bhadawari, Jadomati, Jatwari, Malvi, Nimari, Panchmahali and Sikarwari which were all written in Devnagari script.
Deciphered Cancels: R3/1 & R4/5: Vidisha (23.5251°N 77.8081°E), now in Vidisha district, Madhya Pradesh state R3/4: Agar Cantonment, Agar (23.7137°N 76.0095°E), now in Agar Malva district, Madhya Pradesh state R4/2: Susner (23.9428°N 76.1001°E), now in Agar Malwa district, Madhya Pradesh state

thanks dosamaniac - apologies, my fault for omitting a single word 'here' - am aware of the values, and should have made it clear I was speaking only of the stamps on show here - will edit my words to clarify. Otherwise many thanks for your interest and the added information - much appreciated.

Yes, That is an "India used in Burma" Appears that "Rangoon Daily News" was a Rangoon Sub Office.

Apologies for the long delay in responding - it's been a crazy few months at home. And yes, it was meant to be SCOTT, not SG (apologies!). As to the booklet pane, it did originally have the booklet selvedge when I first acquired it, but somewhere in all the moving about it got torn off and lost. Hence my belief it was #104e. Sorry - should have been much clearer when I originally posted it.
