Sorry Victor,
She is referred to in Gibbons as "Type 80", not much huh? Uruguay has some beautiful early issues, in fact "Type 79" is similar in design but with a child effigy, which, and just guessing, would probably be referred to as a sprite, fairy, goblin or elf . As long as specialist catalogues command such high prices, our knowledge of lesser known countries will suffer. If prices were more reasonable, I am sure they would sell more. I do not keep the mint and sterile, I specialise in the chipped, nibbled torn, ripped and the unmade bed types. All mine have made their tour of duty, but I love em. | Nice, nice.

found these unused words floating about: Le Mon, 4 Aug 2003 23:52:05 +0100, dans rec.collecting.stamps.discuss, "David F." a écrit : How does "Google" stand on this, as they seem to have an archive of every NG posting on the planet! Google don't keep the messages with the field « X-No-Archive: » set to « Yes » in the headers. But if there's a follow-up and those headers aren't set, then the quoted parts of the thread are in the reply. |

... Hi Rod, Scott (# 154 & 155) don't tell more about this "Type 80" lady, described as "girls head" Yvert (# 154 & 154a) neither : they call her "femme" (lady). For the children (Scott 157 & 162) they are referred as Eros and cornucopia & Eros. Yvert just says Eros. -- All the best, Pierre Courtiade Merci, Pierre. I liked the stamp, so that now the lady (girl, femme) can be admired uncancelled (which doesn't mean mint) at: http://www.values.ch/images/uruguay-1900.jpg It looks like new born, isn't it? :-) -- Victor Manta ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Philatelic Webmasters Organization: http://pwmo.org 1900 Links Online: http://pwmo.org/weblinks/links.asp Art on Stamps: http://values.ch Romania Shown by Its Stamps: http://marci-postale.com Spanish Africa: http://www.values.ch/sna-site/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

Well, I am glad you did the research, Bob. It must have been a "dirty
job" but , of course, someone had to do it. In all likelihood there well be no medals awarded, and even less acclaim, but it is said theat they also serve who only stand and observe. .. Charlie Live right, Eat right, Exercise ... ... ... Die anyway ! |
