Hope somebody can advise me on this. I have a stamp which I believe to be Australia, Scott #258 (as it has the expected watermark). However, it has a straight edge like it came from a booklet, but I can't find any details of booklets in Scott or any other resource.
Has anybody come across this before?
Thanks,
Chris.

There was a large number of this stamp printed in booklet format. Some were watermarked and others printed on unwatermarked paper. Source is the Australian Commonwealth Specialists' Catalogue.

Thank you so much Oldmanemu. Shows you can never just rely on Scott alone...

I think that the left edge is not straight as in guillotined- as it presents a torn or serrated appearance.
I have seen coil stamps not centred correctly in the machine present like this.
