ABOUT THE STAMPS
Left Box (S): Indicates the horizontal row. The letters run alphabetically from A (Row 1) down to T (Row 20). Since left letter is S, it represents the 19th letter of the alphabet, which corresponds precisely to Row 19.
Right Box: Indicates the vertical column. Columns run from A (Column 1) to L (Column 12, making 12 stamps per row to equal one shilling). Therefore, letter is G, which is the 7th letter of the alphabet, meaning it sits in Column 7.
Therefore, the letter combination S-G places this specific stamp at Sheet Position 223 (Row 19, Column 7).
Special Stanley Gibbons classification:
BS1: Printed from Plates 1b to 11 (These are the ultra-desirable "Black Plates" originally used for the Penny Black but converted to print the Penny Red in 1841).
B1: Printed from Plates 12 to 131. These plates use Alphabet I for the corner letters (the letters are small and hand-punched). Your stamp most likely falls into this group.
B2: Printed from Plates 132 to 177. These plates transition to Alphabet II, which features noticeably larger corner check letters.
A specific lowercase letter is added to your core code based on the exact shade of ink:
B1a: Red-Brown
B1b: Pale Red-Brown
B1c: Deep Red-Brown
B1d: Orange-Brown
