Well, I gave my Grandson Daniel a 'Collection Tub' (a large plastic storage container that'll just fit under his bed) of goodies so he had one place to store them all together. Inside was: - the stamp collecting album I made him, some stamps, hinges, tongs, magnifying glass, instruction sheet,...

The web site of the American Topical Association has disappeared. Their URL leads only to dead links and the note that a new web site is "under construction". I thought that I would contact the director, Ray Cartier, but there's not even an e-mail address. Anyone know how to contact him? I...

Tony, if you did not get my e-mails or the one from Ann Triggle about the Argintine hooker stamps, please let me know and I can post a copy here. I cleaned up your address as instructed, but it still did not seem to work. Ada

The covers were sent from Lundy, bearing Puffin stamps and also GB stamps for the onward journey all cancelled on 1st January 1939. They must be relatively common as I...

I sure love my scanner! We've talked a lot about scanners here, and it seems to be agreed that you don't need to spend a lot of money. Mine is an Agfa Snapscan e40, more than two years old now. I spent about CDN $125 for it. I don't have a clue how this technology works, but it does seem to work!...

So, what's happening in the world of stampin'? Any goodies under the Christmas tree? Santa bring a plate block of six XSF MNH Bluenoses down the chimney? This NG has been pretty quiet, except for a really dull conversation about esoteric computer codes. Base 8 numbering systems? Gimme a break! I...

In a current discussion on another group I was given this link which I would like to pass on to everybody for their convenience. http://www.schriften-lernen.de/ The site (which is in German) gives transcriptions of all thinkable non-Latin alphabets, such as Russian, Greek, Armenian, Georgian,...

I am having trouble with my e-mail. This is just a test to see if I can get anything sent.
