Hello Mr BW.
That's coming along nicely. If unable to source elsewhere, there's a lot of Letraset on Ebay.

Thanks Bobtail. eBay didn't have what was needed when Mr originally looked, but he has today finally found it on Etsy - which also didn't have it when he first looked.
He's also tried printing the 2p and 10p out onto clear labels we had as samples from some stationery company at some long-ago time, but, as the labels were for laser printing and we are now using an Epsom Ecotank, it just came out blurry. Our trusty old HP OfficeJet Pro would have printed them OK, but the price of its cartridges (over £200 RRP a set now, and nearly £100 even as compatibles) meant it had to be retired.

Ancient Letraset may no longer stick properly. Good luck!

That was/is our concern too Tim. However, with the printing not working and the Etsy sheet £5.50 delivered, it is worth a go. Next stop will be some specific inkjet clear labels, but then it gets more expensive as we will have to buy a pack. Some versions were engraved and I do have letter stamps so might also hold that as an option.
