Douglas Ball's
20 B2 ticket description* fairly describes the Burn

"BOUND BY / BURN, LONDON. / (enclosed
in ring
between single rules), / POSTAGE / 8D. / (within central circle),
lozenge triple-rule frame with corners decorated, 23 x 23 mm; black on
fawn." The ticket illustrated above is a color variant: black on
cream/white. This ticket is found in the books
listed
below, although not all copies of these books will contain this ticket,
or
any ticket at all.
