Christmas 1970 varieties - Valerie Mayers - 23-01-2021

I have been working on the varieties of this group of stamps. There are a lot so it is easy to find varieties in this group. 
I looked up articles that show the varieties and then I started looking. Using a microscope with 10% magnification i found the following :
5c sleigh ride. Blue spot in front of horse. Yellow spot in front of horse. Black vertical line where the drivers hand meets the reins. A blue wedge between the sleigh and the top of the horses tail. 
A red thread at the bottom of the horses tail (pos. 1) a blue thread under the sleigh. A blue thread behind the sleigh. A red thread under the sleigh and a black mark on the horses blanket. There are also a few with donuts. 
These are ones I found easily although I am sure there are a lot more. 
Happy hunting.
