Hi Am new to this and have a question. I have brought some albums and in them is a stamp called King Of The Orient SG No. 713. On the bottom is a name looks like T Shemza but on mine the letter T is missing so it reads Shemza. I have looked in the Stanley Gibbons book and there is no mention...

With the postal rates going up in a few days, the USPS has issued a non-denominated definitive showing the Statue of Liberty and U.S. flag. I purchased three varieties at the philatelic window at the Postal Museum the other day. The current variety is non-denominated with "2006" printed at the...

The opposite sometimes occurs. A very old friend of mine who specialises in The Territory of New Guinea and Papua, (he is writing a book on New Guinea and is probably the world's leading philatelic authority on the Huts and Birds issues) wrote to me enclosing some NWPI stamps he had found in an old...

Some 6 weeks ago I bought a small lot of NWPI overprints of the stamps of Australia (which happens to be my specialist field)from an international auction house. Hiding in this lot was what I thought to be a copy of the first watermark greenish olive Kangaroo (SG76c)- a rare stamp with a current...

An interesting hand illustrated cover from NWPI. There is nothing special about the stamps other than their "artistic" placement. The rate is correct. What intrigues me is the flag to the left. On the right is a fair representation of the Red Ensign, but I have been unable to identify the other....

I wonder (one for you Rodney perhaps)whether there is a genealogical link between Samuel Harrison, the Doyen of 19th century engravers and his son John Augustus Charles Harrison who did work for Waterlow's in the early part of the 20th century including classic KGV UK definitives and Thomas (TS)...

I read Tony Clayton's message " a slow let down" with interest as it is something we all do - I added a short response about the opposite happening to a friend of mine - they say that lightening doesnt strike twice but yesterday I recived a small lot I had purchased on e-bay for $17. It consisted...
