I believe I have accounted for all the items shown in the catalogue, does this have a special backing paper (Steiner pages are designed for mint stamps and mounts) or am I missing something somewhere. Which would not be the first time!!
Edit. Just realised that the stamp I had as 2915 coil, is in fact a booklet stamp 2920, so belongs on the bottom line.

Might try 2921a. Single from booklet pain. Depends on the date, 1996 or 1997. Not sure about the size of the box.

Thanks Mel for the input, I'm wondering if it is meant to be 2920 and the next box to the right should be 2920b, the latter having a smaller date.
Maybe they just got the box size wrong, or perhaps it accounts for backing paper for some reason.

You may be right, regarding the 2920. #2920f may have a label attached to it. This may account for the larger box. I have not seen any with label, but Scott indicates that the 2920f is a booklet pane of 15 plus label. The label is located in the 6th or 7th row of the pane and is die cut. I can guess that a single stamp may have the label attached. Since I have never seen one, I am only guessing.
OK edit. I just looked at my flags and on my Scott album pages, the 2915 box is larger than all the others. I am at a loss. Need further research.

Have just found this site, which I am currently going through to see if it can help.

Edit: This site, mentioned in the above has illustrations of all the stamps, but I'm not seeing anything of a different size.

Scott 2915 is indeed a coil stamp. It's on backing paper that's larger than the stamp. Here's a picture of a pair.
Scott 2915B and 2915D are also coil stamps with backing paper that's larger than the stamps. I don't know why Steiner has a larger box for a booklet stamp.
In addition to the website noted above, there's also this one:
https://www.ro-klinger.de/flagoverporch/
It has probably more detail than you need to complete the Steiner pages as it lists many minor varieties that specialists may be interested in.
The website of the Plate Number Coil Collectors Club has data on all of the coil issues.

Thanks for the reply. I have also found Robin Harris's Adminware site that has details and sorting aids.
I'm coming to the conclusion that the larger box is either a Steiner error or maybe to allow for backing paper.
Edit: The Steiner page for Scott 3133, the 1997, Flag over porch issue is also a much larger box, so I'm assuming they are mistakes in the page production.

Scott 3133 is a coil that was issued without backing paper. If you purchased a roll of these from the USPS, they supplied strips of backing paper that are long enough to hold a strip of 7 stamps. The supplied backing paper is taller than the stamps. Collectors of mint stamps would likely keep them on this backing paper or something else of their choice, so a larger space may be warranted. Here's a plate numbered strip from my collection on the USPS supplied backing.

Ok, before i go completely doolally can someone enlighten me as to the Scott number for the missing Booklet stamp, it shows a larger box on the Steiner page.
