Overprints

Imagine collecting overprints. Going thru a stamp catalogue, practically all countries have overprinted stamps.

I wonder if there is a world overprint book? I often see overprint booklets of different countries. Inquiring minds want to know.



Hyderabad O47 in the catalogue. Part of the India native feudatory states. There is another variety of this stamp that was printed with an unshaded background. Nice to have. I'm still looking.
I see this stamp all the time when sorting thru old world mixtures. Funny how you always gotta look at them too, just in case you get an odd one. I'm always looking for odd ones of anything. There IS money to be discovered in places most people would overlook.

Hyderabad

Here's a place not known commonly except for the stamp collector. Hyderabad, located in central India 1869-1948. The kind of place that would pop up on a Jeopardy show.

There's nothing funny about the accident. Accidents are me in a nutshell. But this was so good and depending on your views on things, very fitting.

Does anyone have a quail stamp I could put on todays notes? I know Cees(see link on right) has plenty of chicken stamps. I could find one if I had the time(Wheres my staff?). I realized tonight I have no duck stamps. Someday.

OK guys, I'm just browsing cnn news after I posted this and check out the Bush story I read. I swear, I hadn't a clue when I posted this stamp today. Bush is actually there right now. Some things happen by such coincidence that it's truly uncanny.
