More chicken stamps
Yesterday I told you that only one day after deciding to collect chicken
stamps, I had increased my holdings by 100%, two items (a stamp and a cover). Today, I have added two mo -- a wartime German Easter card in a cover mailed by a soldier in a flak unit; oddly, it shows a child, a chicken, an egg and a raw *broken* egg! I wonder what the explanation for that is.... -- I also was surprised to find on the back of a Russian airmail cover a stamp picturing a young woman feeding a flock of chickens. And someone predicted that this collecting of chickens-on-stamps-and-covers would be hard! I'm afraid the problem will be quite the opposite, but as usual I'll be looking for items that I really like. I turned down several chicken stamps yesterday.

Nice Page Victor.
I am unable to assist you with 40 years hence, how about 40 years back? http://groups.msn.com/Stamps/shoebox...oto&PhotoID=90 Perhaps the Poms have one in London every year, These covers are from the 1950 exhib. ( I wasn't there at the time ) Use of the Maltese Cross was evident then for the exhibition.

... Rodney: Did you not notice how Victor's "chicken" strangely resembles a duck? snip Blair Ooooops, a wrong classification, sorry :-))) Actually, it comes from a "false friend", in another language. Victor Manta PS. Just a short story. When I was a child, we had a hen who hatched some duck eggs (apparently the mother ducks weren't patient enough for this activity). Two days after being brought to life, the ducklings went directly to the nearest lake and entered into the water. I cannot describe here the high jumps and the warnings that the desperate hen has emitted when she has seen what have been doing her dear "chickens". In the meantime me and by brother were laughing to death, and the ducklings made nice circles on water surface, without paying the slightest attention to their scarred mother. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Philatelic Webmasters Organization: http://pwmo.org Art on Stamps: http://values.ch Romania Shown by Its Stamps: http://marci-postale.com Communism on Stamps: http://www.values.ch/Communism/ Spanish Africa: http://www.values.ch/sna-site/ Remove "um" from the e-mail address to reply --------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
