The Mystery of the Sherlock Holmes Stamps
The strip of five Sherlock Holmes stamps contains a mystery:
The name of the author, DOYLE, is hidden on the stamps,
one letter on each stamp
You'll probably need a magnifying glass and the actual stamps

The Y, L, and E are easy. The E is on the spine of a book on stamp 1. The L is on the book on the table on stamp 3, and the Y is on stamp 4 below the tied legs of the figure on the ground.

I looked at the answer and feel that the D is a little bit of a stretch. The letter is not complete as are all the others.

The O of the cufflink is okay, I guess. Just not in the style of the Y, L, and E.

You think I obsessed enough over this????

as a follow on from the Sherlock issue...and I do not know if it has been mentioned before.
The 1985 Famous Trains issue in Britain had the designers logo incorporated into at least one stamp. The 17p Flying Scotsman has a small mouse (the logo of the designer) perched on top of the last fence-post on the right hand side. My eyes are not good enough any more to see if any of the other stamps have the same. Can anyone post a scan of the rodent?

Sorry small pic.

Slania is the engraver.

Wow that's AWESOME! Thank you for sharing this. I wish the US would do neat stuff like that!

Presuming you are responding to the Heindorff post
gives me an excuse to show another.
Mette was a friend for just a short time, but her work
remains the best digital stamp work I have seen
(my opinion only of course )
She also held a stamp club for children in her home.
