"Rod" wrote in message ... http://cjoint.com/data/fpeIXik67K.htm Clue: The answer is in the question. I don't know about the clue but the wind filling the sails seems to be blowing the flag the wrong way. Engine-turned backgrounds on line-engraved stamps have been used since the very first one, the penny black. Douglas |

Douglas I was under the impression that the "ruling" machine, (my own word) was something completely different from the engine turner. A machine expressly employed for the parallel lines and cross hatching the background. Rodney. |

Clue: The answer is in the question
Well done Tony, It is in fact the missing "singular possessive noun" appendage. I am not sure why but one could have a thematic based on missing dots and apostrophes. I know of at least twenty. It is American, so we let it pass with a "nudge , nudge, wink wink" As your prize, please accept this image of a stamp, (the stamp) that will never rust, tone, fade, or deteriorate in any way, (providing handled with due care) Guaranteed for at least twenty thousand years http://cjoint.com/data/fpnTSML5M0.htm Rodney |

"Nick Bridgwater" No@Spam wrote in message . 109.145... How about the wrong flag ? G'day Nick, I couldn't comment on that, a few people have put forward that suggestion. I was watching a quiz show on TV the other day, "The Einstein Factor" which had a question that required an answer via choice: Was John Cabot the seaman, 1. English? 2. Italian? 3. French? No one of 3 answered correctly. (BTW I pronounce it Ka-boe not Kabut I am not sure which is correct) |

BTW, as a ship modeler I do find the flags both going the wrong direction amusingG. John |
