British postal orders occupy a strange corner of notaphily — they are neither banknotes nor cheques but functioned as a de facto low-denomination payment system for the unbanked, particularly for mail-order transactions and small remittances. The GPO issued them in fixed denominations, and the sixpence value was among the most heavily used, predominantly for catalogue purchases and football pools entries during the 1930s and 1940s.
The period 1936–1952 spans the reigns of three monarchs, and orders from this run will carry either George V's or George VI's cypher depending on precise date — George V died in January 1936, making that year's earliest issues transitional.
