Penny Post

This is cool. But what the heck is it? City letter dispatch stamp? Hmmm???

National Park Stamp

Here's an odd one. My Scott FDC book only shows single values, no block values. Isn't this a block? Never mind, I see now that it's a single pane of six. I know the condition is miserable. I get what I'm served. What's with all the cancellations on this?

Don't forget, click the image to enlarge it.

Barbados Victory Angel

Is that a victory wreath in her hand? Kinda like the ones the Ceaser's used to wear into town?

Nice pair of wings there.

U.N.




Why can't we get along? Why can't everybody that cries democracy and want peace, join the best version of global democracy and bow to it. Instead many just flaunt their nose when it suits them. I'm not gonna point any fingers.

Nice cover eh? It's still just a dream.

Italy

A friend my wife works with at the hospital went to Italy and sent us this postcard. Thank you so much JoAnn for taking the time to send it.

Columbia Overprinted

I can't find these stamps in my catalogue, someone wrote 107 on the clip of paper and I'm certain that is not the catalogue number. In my book anyways.
Are any of you serious Columbia collectors? Or do you know what they are? Wait a moment... Is that a Panama overprint? Yep. Hmmm, probably not the double overprint listed, though I could argue that it's got 2 overprints. They are probably referring to a set actually stamped twice. Not to mention, this is a pathetic condition for a stamp to be in. Some people just can't throw anything away I guess.

Here's a Columbian stamp now. Kinda tricky there.

This summer is turning out to be a wicked hot one.
