1952 East Germany

i pulled this out of a U.S. dealers pick box..i am embaressed to say how little I paid !

Were you at the Latham show?

Yes, were you there ? got there around 11:30 it was very quiet..5 dealers !! John Nunes had one room..one guy in the hall and 3 dealers in a second room !

I wanted to go, but completely forgot until you mentioned going to a stamp show and it clicked in my mind that it was this Sunday. I've also been dealing with a summer cold this weekend and didn't even make it to the local flea market. Beware of three year old house guests - a vector not controlled by the DEC. I'll try to hit up the Brimfield show next month and maybe make it to Lantham next month. I'm hoping Bill Powers goes to those shows as he turns up interesting items.

Will, can you tell me about Brimfield ? We have read about it but it seemed to dwell mainly on antiques..it would be a full day for us with driving out and back...are there many dealers in paper ? Stamps and postcards ! phil

I actually haven't been myself, but I've been hearing good things about it. It's the source of some postcards for some of the dealers I've met at various flea markets. I did find a link with details:
