Found Glasgow.
Southhook Kilmarnock with an upside down number ‘3’ to the front.
‘S Southhook L’ to the rear and again the ‘S’ and ‘L’ are upside down to the Southhook.
The stamp consists of raised letters with the exception of the ‘3’ which is pressed.
Note both frogs are different.
Note the reversed ‘S’ of Southhook and The ‘L’, ‘R’ and ‘N’ of Kilmarnock are reversed. Indeed the ‘I’ ‘M’, ‘A’ and ‘O’ could also be potentially reversed!
