Q: Last night of the Proms by amesh \(Mette\)
As a regular prommer I really enjoyed the Last Night, broadcasted on BBC yesterday :-) Which brings me to ask whether Henry Wood has ever been "broadcasted" on a stamp? -- Best regards Ann Mette Heindorff (Mette) http://www.heindorffhus.dk

Curiosity Corner #118 The Pahang 2c Orange by Rodney

Peru ID by Rodney
Could someone offer the Stanley Gibbons Catalogue number for a 1925 plebiscite stamp please? It is the redrawn 2c orange (T143) that follows the set with value tablets as circles, but does not have the branches under the arms, or the word "plebiscite" My simplified shows no break between...

Pieter Bruegel the Elder (Renaissance) by amesh \(Mette\)
Rodney, I have just uploaded a page about Pieter Bruegel the Elder. At the moment this is the closest I can come to "Drawing-in-Art", but hopefully you will agree with me that pen-and-ink drawings are just as good as drawings painted in colour. ...

To soak, or not to soak? by Rodney
I have recently come up against a rather irritating situation. I have boxes and boxes and boxes of covers, some contain issues I may be missing from my albums, I have yet found the courage to soak them off, as each cover seems to have a character of it's own. The rate I am going, I am going to...

Stamp bourses. by Rodney
Being rather new at the hobby, I have noted a new (to me) habit that is worth commenting on. Today at a local show, one dealer was offering collections that obviously he had picked through, but left the Album otherwise intact, and had just jotted prices alongside each stamp. One could buy the...

Smilers Sheets by Tony Clayton
I was astonished to learn from a friend recently that some of the early Smilers Sheets (also known as Post Office Label Sheets) were fetching silly prices. Then the 2004 SG Concise Catalogue came out, and I saw that LS2 and LS3 were catalogued at 380 UKP, with LS2a and LS3a unpriced (these have a...

Supplying a picture for U.S. stamps by David Ames
Aren't these stamps based on customer-supplied photographs illegal, when a living person's photo is used? It has always been against the law. during my lifetime, to depict a living person on a U.S. postage stamp. David Ames
