to include Quittance (Receipt)
for students searching the SCF database. :)

Cheers :)
Look out for similar revenues featuring Demeter (Ceres)
the goddess of the harvest, and that lass with
the bonnet of snakes, Medusa.

gris = grey I have about 20 revenues of the 10c similar to yours, but not one of the other values. Here is a similar revenue, Medusa this time Engraved by Eugene Andre Oudine (1810-1887)  |

Now what is a woman doing,
when those looking at her, turn to stone,
doing, wearing earings and a pearl necklace?
Now there is an enigma.

Just because you're a Gorgon, doesn't mean you can't be stylish. I've looked closely at my stamp, but don't see an engraver name as clearly as yours. All I can see in the lower right corner is R ? A S ? E V Any ideas?  Sorry, meant to post a picture, but had to run off to watch the Woman's World Cup. Canada lost to Germany 2-1 (sad face!) |

That is Tassets name James (TASSET) engraved by Ernest Paulin Tasset (1839-1919) Yes, I was watching the history of the women's world cup last evening, Canada snatched a win over Germany or China a few years back as I recall? P TASSET is clearer on the 25c  |
