The sheet stamps. The ½d, 1½d and 2½d values were issued on September 1st 1936. First day cover posted in Nottingham. Normally, envelopes were given the usual machine cancellations.

By doing this, the cover received the counter officers date stamp, making them virtually 'cancelled to order'. _____________________________________________________ The 1d value was issued on September 14th 1936.
