Blair, these are wonderful! Just the kind of thing I'd like to have in my
collection. I didn't know that my old pet rooster, George, was moonlighting
as a model. Thank you!
Does anyone know of catalogue numbers for these stamps? I can't find them in
the Scott U.S. Specialized; my catalogue is old, 1986, so perhaps they are
in newer ones. Any suggestions for dealers?
