Should Stamp Removed From Brown Wraper ?

I was wondering should I remove stamp or keep it on the cut out
Piece of Brown Wrapper. Was Interested in cancel mark.
If cancel mark not that much important. I remove it carefully
soaking. Making sure color doesn't get transfer.
Will brown paper harm long run archival.

The brown paper is probably OK. I have some Canada and France stamps on brown parcel paper from the 1930's and 1940's and they are OK.

Depends on the country of origin though I would think. India may use glues that would be hard to remove. The ink in some stamps may be aniline or water-based and run when soaked in water.

Can you scan or photo what you have or tell us what country and year they stamps are from and what cancel type perhaps?

Hi Puzzler,

Thank you very much... These are recent and there is nothing Spectacular
Cancels. Cancels are average. Only these stamps are on Brown Wrapper,
used for News Paper Posting. No doubt some are nice clear cancel.
Which I thought of keeping. But all of them are current.
I use photobucket and I do not know how to load it from there.

I do not know how to attache scan on this site. Quick reply
I can not probably have to create new topic and with it also
at present I do not know.

When you use the Quick Replay box below the postings you do not have access to smileys or posting photos.

When you use The Reply To Topic links at top or bottom of postings you do.

I would rather see the picture posted on here for saving on another site besides your own idea as when you go or change the pic on photobucket it changes on here, if you have posted a link to photobucket here. But that is just my preference.

I think on photobucket you can choose a few different ways to copy a link to a photo and then you just copy from there and paste to here and we click on the link or actually see the picture, depending on which way you chose to do it.
