window envelopes by

I have recently become (mildly) intrigued by window envelopes, which
seem to be dealers' bane because their provenance is difficult to
impossible to determine. It's their *construction* which interests me.
A friend recently showed me two First World War window envelopes in

Discounted Stamps~was discounts on Civil War Revenues by
Rodney
Many Brazilian definitives issued between 1942 and 1947 have three
close-spaced vertical green lines on the back. These were applied to
stamps supplied to non-governmental postal agencies at a discount of

Latest news; USPS may fall victim of the economy and wither away.
Not really news to those thinkers who realize email has cut a serious
chunk of USPS income. The recession is taking another big bite. Who
knows what lies down the road.

Problems with hinge removal from CTO stamps by
Pasha
I often buy used stamps that are attached to album pages with hinges.
It's easy to separate the hinges from the pages, but separating the
hinges from the stamps is often a pain.

disfigures a stamp. :-(
Of course, the easiest way is...

I have had the ocassion to meet Tracy Barber and would like to add my
comment to the flap. I don't care about his religion, political
position or sexual orientation.
I don't dislike him, I hate his guts. All because his stamp budget is

......Regarding Bhutan, and other judgements.
Personally, I feel if the so called "Philatelists" can collect gum,
then I can collect whatever I damn well like. :)
