OK can anyone tell me waht stamp supplied the "fire" on the log ?
Hint: the stamp always reminds me of the ball
that Tom Hanks had as a friend in the film "Cast Away"

You thinking Wilson? More likely a Harding. The 1 1/2c Harding was brown. Wilson was black.
Or possibly a 4c Martha Washington.
We're talking US stamps of course. 1922-25ish series. |

That is way cool. Someone with way too much time on their hands... Mind you, I wish I has half that creative! |

The mantlepiece......  Not stealing your thunder, but just to illustrate no matter what in Philately, it has generally been done before. Here is an old Chinese Collage with Dr. Sun Yat sen sitting on a perfin (ouch!) (New Zealand Insurance Co)  |
