China Clipper

I hate envelopes with the red and blue border.

There is nothing worse then trying to soak a stamp off the red paper and trying not to dye the stamp red!!

Cochin

#33 a regular postal 3 Annas and an official stamp (note the overprint) an O12 and I truly stand to be corrected.

Another Feudatory State India dated the 1920's basically. Postage 18-23 Officials 18-34....1900's that is.

SRI Rama Varma the Second is who's portrait this is.....Not sure who he was, so if you came up with this on a search for him, please leave a comment.




I gotta admit, I think turbins are cool. I wish I could where one without standing out in the crowd!!! Though this looks like more of a crown. I just happened to think of that.

Travancore

This is one that you really need a stamp guide to find where it's from.

I should say MOST of us. I'll grant some of you may know this place.

It's under the India Native Feudatory States.

$ value = 1
interest value= 7

Space

A real blast from the past!!

It's funny how the space race played out. The US won going to the moon and now the former USSR is the best at shooting into space that there is!!!! At least the best at shootin humans into space!!!!

I've said it before and I'll say it again.

All my money is on China landing a man on Mars first!!!

Gibralter and the Queen

Tonight I read in an msn group, that the chatroom was disapearing. I also read that ipda.org has a chatroom. This I've been hearing about for quite some time.

I went in to check it out and actually found someone in the chatroom.

A 64 year old guy that is into QEII. We discussed her beauty and I find tonights FDC fitting!!!

Dahomey

Located on the west coast of Africa.

I actually have the entire set of 3 stamps!!!

The set is worth a buck!!!!

I'm still gonna keep looking. I'm world famous for my "finds", I'm also famous for the great length of time that goes on between my finds.

The search goes on

Plane and Pilot

This is the 8th airmail stamp issued by Greece. 1933 was the year of issue.
Personally I really like the look of this one.
