It is not clear exactly how many were actually used. Mr. Stavridi purchased the 319 remaining prussian blue stamps from the three sheets sent to the Upper Edmonton Post Office. It appears that he attached some of these stamps to covers for mailing and cancellation purposes.  The fourth sheet was delivered to an unknown Post Office. Hacket has been able to identify 53 examples of postally used Prussian Blue stamps. It is thus possible the number of used stamps could range from 47 to over 100. </div> </tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <TABLE BORDER="1" CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="592" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#808080" FRAME="BOX" RULES="ALL" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP COLSPAN=3 HEIGHT= 16 ><NOBR><div> <B>Hacket's classification system of known postally used prussian blue stamps.</B></div> </NOBR></tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 16 WIDTH="46"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="16" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="46" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="261"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="16" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="261" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="261"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="16" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="261" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 112 WIDTH="46"><div> 1.</div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP COLSPAN=2><NOBR><div> <U>Multiple Stamps</U></div> <div> Vertical strip of 3 - cancelled Highbury August 1935</div> <div> <A HREF="id287_used_strip_3.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="PB Used1"><U>Vertical strip of 3</U></A><FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > - cancelled Highbury October 28 1935    (Includes 2 ½d photogravures)</FONT></div> <div> Vertical strip of 2 - cancelled Highbury August 1935</div> <div> <A HREF="id287_vertical_strip_2_used.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="PB Used1"><U>Vertical strip of 2</U></A><FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > - cancelled Cricklewood July 26 1935 (Only example on full cover)</FONT></div> <div>                (Includes ½d Silver Jubilee)</div> <bR> </NOBR></tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 16 WIDTH="46"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="16" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="46" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="261"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="16" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="261" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="261"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="16" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="261" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 96 WIDTH="46"><div> 2.</div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP COLSPAN=2 WIDTH="525"><div> <U>Westmead Corner Cancellation Group</U> (all singles)</div> <div> Sent from Westmead Corner, Carshalton, Surrey</div> <div>       17 stamps - all dated <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Arial" ><A HREF="id288_westmead_corner.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="PB Used2"><U>July 24 1935</U></A></FONT> (24-JY-35)</div> <div>         1 stamp   - dated July 25 1935</div> <div>         2 stamps - dated July 29 1935</div> <div>         1 stamp   - unknown date</div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 16 WIDTH="46"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="16" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="46" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="261"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="16" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="261" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="261"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="16" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="261" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 128 WIDTH="46"><div> 3.</div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP COLSPAN=2><NOBR><div> <U>Other Prussian Blue stamps on Cover</U></div> <div> Cover cancelled Cricklewood July 12 1935 (Includes 1½d Silver Jubilee and ½d photogravure)</div> <div> Cover cancelled Cricklewood July 19 1935 (Includes 2 1d Silver Jubilee stamps)</div> <div> Cover cancelled Cricklewood July 26 1935 (Verical pair Silver Jubilee)</div> <div> Registered letter to Switzerland.
