Isn't it a bit strange, especially when considering that on news:fr.rec.philatelie (the stamps NG in French) there are more and more postings, and anyway more than here? For this reason I wonder how many actively participate or are at least read the postings in this NG. May I invite you to answer this posting, by eventually adding a short comment, for example about what are you collecting. Your posting will let know to our visitors how large actually is the experience of this philatelic group. Please infer my modest domain of knowledge from my signature.

There are actually quite a number of people who collect these fascinating
markings, and we even have our own club, the Auxiliary Markings Club: http://www.postal-markings.org/ Pardon me if I am replying to a reply rather than to the original question - again I was away for a few days, and my server doesn't retain postings for very long. If there were other questions in the original post, please e-mail me - my address should be relatively easy to unmask. Ada "TC Blair" wrote in message om... "Rodney" wrote in message ...

Your posting will let know to our visitors how large actually is the experience of this philatelic group. Unlike Rob, I *have* met stamps that I don't want to collect or study, and they include almost everything issued by everyone since about 1960, the exception being stamps on and off-cover related to the Vietnam War. I collect stamps and covers related to propeller airliners, the First and Second World Wars and the postwar periods, airmail stamps on and off cover (as long as thee stamps picture airliners). Although I have a couple of Lighthouse albums (U.S. and Ireland), I don't actively collect these countries, and long ago gave up on the concept of completing a collection. I make my own album pages for my various collections. It's not really accurate to call myself a stamp collector these days, because I rarely buy stamps; covers interest me much more. I am working on an exhibit for VANPEX 2005 of mostly British and Canadian covers and stamps concerning the wartime economy of Great Britain. It will include war economy covers (covers used more than once by the application of official or home-made labels to seal them and cover up the old address and stamp), and slogan cancels, etiquettes and stamps related to wartime conservation. Oh yes, I still pick up chicken stamps and covers that come my way. I wonder if anyone else in the world collects chicken stamps! People seem to think it odd, but hey, my best friend when I was growing up was my pet rooster! There are odder collections. Brian Grant Duff at The Bay Coins & Stamps here in Vancouver auctioned off an award-winning pig topical collection a few months ago. What a ham! Bob Ingraham |
