I think I've gotten myself into a programming pickle. A stamp-club programming pickle. Recently, in an effort to avoid having our stamp club get into a bit of a rut, we took a poll to see what kind of activities members would like to have scheduled for our weekly meetings. I listed several...

I've a pair of used Canadian stamps I can't ID for sure. As per my 2002 Unitrade they are either 1568/69 or 1600/01, or one of each. Scott Vol3 gives me sizes of 46x22mm(68/69) or 51x25mm(00/01) for the pairs respectively however my stamps don't fit that schema. The left stamp is 51mmH x 28mmV...

Dear All Note I am starting this as a new topic as I have no wish to upset either faction in this discussion. A thing which no one appears to have considered is the technical ability of the people participating. As a complete technophobe who has only just figured out how to switch on editing other...

Earliest time-stamped postmark / cancellation ? Would anyone know where i might find this info? My local library has no info on cancellation history except for Channel Islands only, and that was for 1800s. Anywhere in the world or preferably for England or even better Lancashire...

Our town will be celebrating its 300th anniversary in September, 2004 and we are invstigating the possibility of having a special postmark. Does anyone in the NG know how to go about obtaining such a thing. Thanks. -- To e-mail me get rid of the cats and dogs.

Since the top-posting and bottom-posting has become a minor battle, I decided to change up the subject. Well, which is it and why? Tracy Barber

Please humour me, should I be having one of my "catalogue blindness days" SG advises this issue is only available in red overprint can anyone confirm please. http://groups.msn.com/Stamps/shoebox.msnw?action=ShowPhoto&PhotoID=205 The ameriplex 1986 "Presidents" sheets (4, I believe) are not shown...

I'm told that Canadian some stamps have had hidden images for a number of years now. Where might one locate such a list for those stamps and is a special device like that the USPS sells (decoder) necessary to view the images? Thanx...

Recently there has been a poll in Denmark where the public was invited to vote for the best 3 stamps 2003. The candidates we http://www.frimaerkevalg.dk/kandidaterne.asp and 58.950 Danes participated. Yesterday it was published in the Danish papers that the winners we

Hi all, I have recently received the remnants (2000 +) of an old collection the majority of which comprises ex-mounted stamps with hinges still attached. Due to the ravages of time most of these hinges seem almost to be welded (!) to the stamps. Can anyone suggest a better way of cleaning the...

Given the rate of technological progress we've seen in the last 100 years, I suspect postage stamps will be a thing of the past in 20 years at most, maybe even 10 years. The thrust is huge to get people to go to a cashless society and become part of the electronic age using plastic only for...

I have acquired an album with over 100 first day covers from various countries of the world, all depicting cat related pictures. They are almost all on envelopes 'Benham of Folkestone' and nearly all of the envelopes have a gilded or framed picture of a cat in the left half. They are all in...

What's the best way to store/protect the American Eagle #3792-3801 series. The 11 stamp PNC strip measures 25x300. Did Scott or Prizm put out a special mount for these? I haven't found any yet. Thank you, Steve

Thank you to all who have replied to my query. On sober reflection I think I shall follow Bob Ingraham's suggestion and leave the hinges on so long as they do not intrude too obviously. Aesthetics aside I have far too many to go through at this stage to spend time soaking those that do not really...
