Another Curiosity by
Alan Payne
This in itself isn't that rare a cover from the British Post Offices in
Constantinople to San Francisco (received Dec 28 1897). It's the person it's
addressed to
A Mr. M F Greary
Numistatist Philatelist
Any ideas who he might be?

Grandson and stamps for Xmas by
Grandpa
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,...

Christmas Truce of 1914 on a souvenir sheet from SNA by
Victor Manta
"The image of opposing soldiers, shaking hands with each other on one day
and then deliberately trying to kill each other the next, is a powerful one,
and one which is part and parcel of remembrance of the Great War. It was,
perhaps, a last example of open-handed chivalry before the squalor...

American Topical Association -- website gone gone by

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

there's not even an e-mail address. Anyone know how to contact him? I...

So who needs a magnifying glass? by
Bob Ingraham
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
