Curled Stamps by
Barry Kramer
I have several Japanese commemorative stamps, unused, that were hinged,
and are curling up, more than just a bit, say into a third of a circle or

such as placing them between the pages of a large heavy book?
Best Regards,...

Rodney

was to serve as a "seal" to indicate prior opening, and or as a quick
reference as to the letter's status.
