La Sameuse 15c http://cjoint.com/data/gDpcIbQrAc.htm Sameuse ? Well, I guess I could say 'sewer' instead of 'sower' from time to time ;-) The Post-office 116 in Paris was given this number in 1901 (Reaumur street). This 'happy new year' is most probably 1904, 1905 or 1906. In 1906 the letter changed to 10c instead of 15c (a rare example of a tarif decrease). Other post-card and printed matters tarifs were 10c or lower. Types & dyes considerations might restrict the guess further on, however I am no longer so keen at trying my eyes on those line sowers subtleties. And I am not so much familiar with the 15c, except that I do LOVE type VI, the rotary printed roulette.(Types are according french catalogues.) Best regards, -- Cordialement, Bruno |

Oh dear. My apologies Bruno, a typo (and my spell checker failed to pick it
up ;-) Thanks for the interesting preamble. I thought you may mention papers It is that awful cardboard hue, I cannot recall the reason. Best Regards to you.

They are post WW1, 1917-1922, so not to be seen in 1904-1906. (Poor quality paper, end and post war restrictions; the paper was bad enough to be avoided for printing coils (roulettes). It would have teared off too easily.) Best regards, -- Cordialement, Bruno |

Perhaps in Oz, it weathers our skin terribly, but other who have been kept out of the sun (as with stamps) fare better. That paper on the French stamp was cardboard, not white paper, I don't think it was tropic toning either.

I got the joke OK Bruno, it translated well "bc92" sewer for sower was just a poor joke with words :-) That's it! "Grande Consommation" papers I accept your explanation, but the paper on that stamp looks exactly the same. Would your "carboard hue" refer to GC or "Grande Consommation" papers ? They are post WW1, 1917-1922, so not to be seen in 1904-1906. (Poor quality paper, end and post war restrictions; the paper was bad enough to be avoided for printing coils (roulettes).

The "Sydney Morning Herald" had this from their female editor
on the Queen's visit in 1954. (Interesting to note after thousands of years, we still follow certain conventions, the Australian stamp to honour the Queens visit, was in Royal (Tyrian) Purple. "Her dress was simplicity itself, a flutter of champagne chiffon printed in gold which had a tinge of green . . . Her little hat was a pretty conceit which showed her softly waved hair . . . The Queen's complexion is flawless, and paler than the impression gained from paintings and colour photographs. Many a suntanned woman yesterday must have regretted the extra hours on the beach."
