About Waghorn Sidebottom 11
Sidebottom 11 is one of the marks unrecorded by Sidebottom but listed by Smith, whose later catalogue extended the record with types the earlier work had not covered. It is known on a cover of 1839, with a strike recorded in December of that year — placing it among the agency's peak-period markings.
Struck in black and carried here as Smith 11, it belongs to the group that shows how the cataloguing of Waghorn's marks grew over time as more covers came to light. Every recorded example of a Smith addition like this one matters, because the surviving population behind such marks is smaller and less well documented than that of the long-established catalogue originals.
