Hi This is probably a stupid question - but then the morning is the time for stupid questions. I am coming round to the idea that I would like to collect Commonwealth stamps but what I am wondering is - how many countries would a complete collection include and what are they? Are there any lists...

Sarawak on the Island of Borneo was an interesting place in the early part of the last century, ruled by an english family, the Brookes also known as the the White Rajahs. The Sarawak Government isssued stamps in its own right some of the best being the 1932 and the 1934 rajah issues. This latest...

Scott numbering system is about to send me to the funny farm where all good wackos go. Example: Catalog note after Scott 2597, "Nos. 2595-2597 also available in strips spaced for use in affixing machines to service first day covers." In my opinion that is a coil strip and needs a number, Scott...

Part of Australia's 150th Birthday. The Bridge was only 6 years old. Some things to note. You won't see "the stack of dishes" under the Bridge at Bennelong Point, Jorn Utzon designer of the Opera House was only just 20 then. The Lifesaving Issue (probably Bondi but I am not Au fait with the...

All Quiet on the Western Front by Erich Maria Remarque Do any of you find yourself reading books because of stamps you collect? This seems to be happening to me constantly. Too constantly, perhaps. Susan and I are looking into buying yet more bookcases and shelves! Today I finished reading a book...

Tony here is some details on your cover. (I do note you are becoming more focused on Travancore, this is to be understood and expected, as collectors become more refined in their path) I think CMS is combined Missionary Service, and Bishop Corfield was Church of England. HTH The Rev. B.C....

Hi everyone, I would like to invite you all to visit a pair of 100% free online catalogues of Finnish stamps issued between 1856-1962. The URL is: http://www.kerailija.net/postimerkkiluettelo.php Because our site is aimed mostly for finnish collectors, the content is (so far) available only in...

I'm no historian by any stretch of the imagination but doing another round of soaking tonight it dawned upon me how many different people there are on US stamps. I ran across 2 names I've never heard of, and I'm positive they'll not be the first I know nothing about, but.... Without looking them...

Here's a common old issue, that intrigued me when I was a kid. http://groups.msn.com/Stamps/shoebox.msnw?action=ShowPhoto&PhotoID=533 But, did you know it has a date, micro printed in the design? You can just make it out on my scan. (apologies for the scan, an old scan of a duplicate)

I have a need to scan thousands of stamps. I would like to place a few dozen on the scanner at a time, and then have some software automatically ( if possible) separate the individual stamps into separate image files. Does anyone know of the name of such software? Thanks In Advance Bill

Hi there - I used to keep them in a box until it was full, then offer them to an artist for them to experiment on. The returns from said mailings have been quite slim and I've sent out quite a few useable items for this purpose. During this last campaign - and probably for the foreseeable...

Philately + a bit http://www.100megsfree3.com/glaw/thursday/index.htm Anyone know a date for the opening of the Island PO?

Tore myself away from soaking another load of stamps for a snack and a quick look at the paper when a paragraph caught my eye: "She* suggests that the bulk of today's excessive viewers of Internet pornography are likely overweight young men who avoid sports and who, 10 or 15 years back, would have...

I have quality MNH Japan stamps to trade for mint Japan Coke phonecards

All of a sudden, rec.collecting paper-money, rec.collecting.stamps.discuss and rec.collecting.stamps.marketplace are full of porn postings. What is going on? Tony
