Block of 4 with 'ASH' imprint with double 'VG' perfin. Although the 'ASH' imprint is traditionally the first printing (1937), the perforation is actually of the second printing (15 x 14) which is W.C.G. McCracken.

Vertical pair with double 'GV' reverse

Gutter strip of 5 with middle stamp (third from right) with double perfin

The reason why certain stamps are set crooked such as the above strip is because there is a risk of accidentally separating the perforations from any attempt to straighten it because of the numerous holes.
