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?

Germany ID? Variety? by
PMATS5
Found a interesting pair of German stamps while lotting for our Clubs annual
Charity Auction. (All proceeds to the American Cancer Society). In a mixed lot
of early Germany, I found 2 copies of Scott 27 (Michel 29). The obvious
difference is the shape of the 2 in the fraction in the center...

Curiosity Corner #118 The Pahang 2c Orange by
Rodney
I have dubbed the issue with a false SG number,
as the issue was never officially released.
A nice pick up for $1 today.

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"

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...

Criticised with class! by
Rodney
You know, to a lot of young people (read under 21 yo) driving around
my neighbourhood, I must be regarded as a "boring old fart"
if I count the amount of derision directed towards me because I
insist on driving within the speed limit.
The derision comes generally in the form of an extended digit...

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.

Ship Mail Room by

G'day Malcolm,
here is one example I have of the canceller.

The cover has gone through the automatic "sea mail" canceller upside down,
it has been noticed, and 15 minutes later has been hand struck
