The Federation

The hot chic again, this time dressed very smartly and appearing even better than ever on this West Indies Federation(is it an omnibus?) design. Maps are nice on stamps and make a great topical for someone who's a completionist and wants to pick a topic that could actually be possible to finish filling in a lifetime. This is St Vincent #'s 198-200 in the West Indies Federation common design, valued at $1.50 for the complete set.

Map stamps can also have historical significance. For instance, Venezuela has stamps that show their country borders as different from the accepted borders as a way to claim land they think should be theirs.
