Among the Canadian Tree's and modern Britain were these few.
The ONE PENNY stamps were interesting, especially the middle (TO?) with a print flaw at the bottom, and with a nice cancel. Fortunately, I was missing the 2-½d of the UPU Congress and not the ½d which is a bit off. Still need the £1 though. I'm very slowly getting more...

Looking at my oldish copy of G. Brumell's 'British Post Office Numbers - 1844 to 1906' - the centre top penny red with oval of bars - and showing S 18 - could be a reference to the south London district of Deptford. Some time around the mid 1850s London was divided into ten Districts E, N, NE, NW, S, SE, SW, W, WC and a bit later EC it seems. Regret no idea as to date - perhaps someone else might know.

My latest (arrived) purchase. From VF-Auctions in Denmark. I bought some lots that had no bids the last day. The envelope had stamps I alredy have...But they where nice. Then there was a Nice Souvenir sheet From Belgium And a couple of Norwegian Oscar 1856 that I accumulate for later study.

Love the Belgian souvenir sheet Torbjorn! I've got a single used one of those - been looking for the alternate version with the brown dogs on for a while now... Today's post brought me a long-awaited gift from Kiev: I was so happy when I was able to get through on the Ukraine post office and order direct from them on release day!
