I was not expecting this, a big box of Machin's! Good grief, this will keep me busy for ages! Thanks so much Vic. Just in time what with my purchase of Adminware's Machin Novice album pages just last week. All in page protectors, in a binder. No cat. numbers anywhere, so I want to ID them all, but all I have is the Stoneham catalogue. I should buy the SG catalogue now!

" ... No cat. numbers anywhere, ..."
Adminware uses a color/value system, followed by the different
variants similar to the Deegam method. I haven't seen Robin's
"Novice" pages but you should be able to follow things quite easily.
Give it a try and you will be filling spaces without trying to decipher
Scott's or SG numbers. And if you find two very similar stamps that
both seem to fit in the same space, just mount the best one in the
space and the other alongside, then put a small "a" next to or beneath
one and "b" next to or beneath the other.
Eventually you will have a presentable Machin section using your
own "Brighten Beach BMT "B" line or "Q" line numbers.

Pete, now that you are going to sort those Machins and needing pages, you could take a look here.
https://www.gbstampalbums.co.uk/
The Norvic site https://blog.norphil.co.uk/has a free download list of security Machins, link is down right hand side of home page.
You could also visit Clives site where there are a number of Machin pages.
When you know where your blanks are give me a shout and I'll see what I can fill.
Just remember to use tepid, not hot, water for soaking otherwise the phosphor becomes much harder to detect.

I'll have a gazillion holes in this album.
I do need to check all the ones I have, and the ones you sent me.

The gbstampalbums website has some of the better Machin pages. They are in chronological order map to SG Concise very closely. I used them for reference since they were in chronological order.
AlbumEasy has several different types: two by denomination (like Adminware) and one by SG X and Y..

Thanks Al for that site. Too bad I already bought (and printed) Adminware's pages. Either of gbstampalbums offerings for the Machin's look great! Oh well, I saved them just in case...

I checked in at the post office, the first time in a week. My APS Stamp Store order was in - yay! My replacement red Canada binder was in, the other ones 'post was torn out of the spine. Anyone want it? And a box from Neepawa? Who the heck do I know in Neepawa? Vic (sheepshanks) is from there, and he sent me this...
