He typed nine rows across each sheet of foolscap sized sermon paper. With thirteen vertical rows, 117 stamps were obtained in each sheet. The stamps varied in width from 20mm. to 26mm. The quality of the paper often resulted in the stamps being creased before use. 30(c.) unused with border or traces thereof on three sides; three pinholes and two trivial age spots, otherwise fine.
