I am looking for a 13-hole punch to match the holes in Lighthouse pages. I kinda remember this discussion (or one similar) several years ago in this group. Think they were available in Europe. But maybe that was on a day after too much watermarking with those strange chemicals. TIA, George

In the large sheetlet (Aitutaki) of Albrecht Durer, and his large copper engraving "Melancolia number 1" there is on the RHS top, a window full of numbers which I have noticed that no matter which way you add them up, ( up, down, diagonal) "always" results in 34. Does anyone know by what name this...

I know next to nothing about US stamps, and totally nothing about Worldwide issues. None the less, I find myself with a russian stamp w/ a denomination of 60(kon?) and a larger numeral 14 in the center of the stamp, which is 37mm tall and 27mm wide. Above the number 14 is the USSR flag, w/ the US...

Hi, I run a small buisness and need to use normal stamps for shipping, are there any kind of stamp dispenser that automatically cuts of and wettens the underside of the stamp so that it adheres to the envelope? (Or tapes it to the envelop or something). It would really speed up stamping speed,...

Could some one tell me about the significance pertaining to this particular cancel, if indeed there is one? http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v433/Treacan/Blocks/US-C45.jpg

I am always fond of old postcards, it's always a lucky dip, if they come with an attached stamp. Nice ones with clear cancels I find irresistible. I have on occaisions come across "Naughty French Postcards" with buxom ladies in various stages of undress, usually with a strategically positioned clay...

Hi A question to the philatelists that collect finnish stamps. I have no specialized catalog (only specialcatalog Facit - but I don't read swedish). How to distinguish the Senatens tryckery from the L Karta Sigillata tryckery (Facit 12-19). Some catalogs (AFA) distinguish them by the perforation...
