I knew I had seen a 9p stamp with colour markings and this was it.<BR/><BR/>In my original post I mentioned I had sold some blocks of 4 with square colour dabs. This is definite both 9p & 10p values from November 1971 have these dabs.<BR/><BR/>However this does not answer your question about traffic lights on these decimal issues.<BR/><BR/>I do not know with all certainty.<BR/><BR/>Over to someone else before I make myself look stupid again.Machin Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09518381259926478157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3322543472485475876.post-10903233401830276142008-09-10T18:08:00.000-12:002008-09-10T18:08:00.000-12:00Roy,Anything is better than washing windows!

Just grab your copy of Deegam and tell the Mrs. you are doing some remedial studying.<BR/><BR/>Meanwhile, with our dunce caps on, let's see if we can figure this out. The two-color pre-decimal Machins from the late 1960s and the two-color large Machins from 1977-1987 have traffic lights. How about the two-color Machins issued in 1971, the 9p orange and black and the 10p brown and tan. Do those have traffic lights, too?<BR/><BR/>--LarryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
