Never mind. Found it on ebay selling for approximately $1.75 CAD each stamp! It’s King George V.

Looks like it has a revenue cancel, which will dramatically lower the value of the stamps. Also, I believe there are watermark differences too.

Should not the top and bottom edges have been cut sharply,
rather than having been torn ?
Perhaps someone with younger eyes check that out. Otherwise
how would you know the pair is from a coil and not a sheet
or booklet ?

Great Britain
Stanley Gibbons Concise lists the 1 1/2d value as either #362 if watermark 100 or #420 if watermark 111.
There is the possibility of varieties in the watermarks -- sideways or inverted, etc.; often those are on ex-booklet pane examples.
This pair to my eyes appears to be torn on all sides and is most likely ex-sheet rather than ex-booklet pane.
To the best of my knowledge, the G. B. Concise catalogue does not mention any coils; I do not have the specialist catalogue for King George V.
I cannot comment on the cancel.
Catalogue value in SG Concise 2019 for a basic used single example is one pound for the #420 and one pound fifty pence for the #362.

I’m assuming it’s British because there is no country name on the stamp. I do not collect British stamps and don’t have access to a proper catalogue for Great Britain. Any information would be helpful. Sorry the image is upside down. I have no idea how to right it. I’m off to search for more photo upload information for the site.
