Belgium railway parcel post "find" by
Bob Ingraham
Well, it *is* a find! I found it in a nickel box, which because of inflation
has become a dime box. It's an interesting copy of Scott Q11, the 50-centime
1882-94 Railway Parcel Post stamp:
http://www.ingraham.ca/bob/belgiumrwpp1.jpg. The nice thing about it is
the cancellation, which is a...

I recently sent out two ounce packets to three people who will use them for
crafts. Some of the stamps I sent them are damaged, flawed or otherwise

utterly common stamps. I have coined my own personal term for these kind...

that matter) on which the...
