Shillings were indicated with a variety of suffixes, e.g. 3s, 3', 3", 3/ all mean 3 shillings. Any number after that is additional pence, usually 6 (half a shilling) but sometimes 3 or 9 (a quarter of a shilling or three-quarters of a shilling).

Notes: • Month from Amazon.uk • Price from Tuck; Contento1 has 21/- • A typo in Tuck has the Cross story as Happy Birthday, Dear Alex. Update on 03/09/2022 (by Username): that is the original title; for some reason it was changed to Alexa in a 1981 anthology edited by Helen Hoke, Mysterious, Menacing & Macabre, although the title is still Alex on the copyright page.
