hm..where was I?

Here Japan's stamps for the occasion

The sets above was sold in booklet format. I have the 2nd set my father acquired for me when he was working for Honeywell & with Nippon Electric whom was responsible for the Japanese satellite rockets. Honeywell supplied the gyros for the rockets navigation system. Japanese rockets are launched at a angle vs straight up like the US & Russians.

fifia,
I don't think the Czech are Church Bells,
perhaps those tiny hand bells, you use to make music?
I cheated and looked at Gibbons,
but they state "Bells" only.

Stole this one this morning from Leng's orchidee thread. I hope he does not mind.
