Can anyone give me a Scott Cat. # for this Great Britain Machin stamp? I've checked the
catalogue at length, and have not been successful in finding the stamp listed. Image Not Found

re: Machin "E" Stamp?

For some inane reason Gibbons lists self adhesives separately a few pages away from the other Machins.

If you have more than one copy note that there are at several variations easily visible to the naked eye. Some examples are from sheets, miniature panes, others from coils or booklets as well as self adhesives.
The position of the "E" may be higher or lower as well as closer to the left margin, and the "E" may be either thick or thin.
There are other less obvious differences but these things are easy to see.
