A Day Out: Tel Aviv Stamp Fair, Pictures & Purchases

Well does anyone have some history on why British Post boxes are still there? Was kind of wondering myself.

I'm envious - but, I certainly appreciate the photos you posted!

Hello! Londonbus
Thanks for being my tour guide again.
As I have said before I can not travel
to far these days so when I look at your traveling
I am there as well, it is great stuff. John

Thanks again all for the comments. Just imagine what a joy it would be if we could all get together for a similar journey somewhere?



PURCHASES!

I will post some items in the relevant threads, but here are a few for starters.
I did manage to pick up ,at face value, some Flag and Coin sheets from the UN. Also a number of other Flags from worldwide.

Here are a few more unusual Flag items:



One for the Aussies!



This one I likes a lot...



Two lovely British Exhibition labels which took me by surprise.
Waterlow & Sons Publicity labels overprinted for the 1932 Pageant of Postage Stamps in Dorland Hall,London.





Nice Perfs on this one [I should post it in the perfs thread] but I'm not sure what it might be



Toy stamps from Germany



Are you patriotic?





More later. Some elsewhere including the KKL labels !

Michael, absolutely fabulous. I feel like I walked the streets with you. Thanks for bringing me into your world

(ps: please send the Waterlow's to me )

That was really great :) Thanks for sharing!!

Thanks Lux and Jubilee!

Sorry Mr Jubilee, but those labels are hard to find. I was a bit in shock when I saw them on the table of a Russian dealer. He had two books of nice Cinderellas and these were on the same page.

Also this one:



...and lets not forget the two GSM which are still waiting to be read properly.

They also contain two freebies which I will be giving away here next week. One is a very nice Leaflet about old GB issues and includes a superb colour guide to the KGV 1912-24 Royal Cypher ½d issue.

Watch out for it !

Londonbus1 did have a trip to London, England last year. Say no more.

Just call me Mr. Originality ;)

Londonbus1: don't know how I missed this thread but glad I caught it. Touched on at least three of my interests: stamps, architecture and trains.

Thanks all for the nice comments. It was fun.
More purchases to show yet !




Nowhere just now. But I will be taking a surprise trip to the UK in June and will be going a big 2-day event....so another story on the Horizon !
