700+ Stamps #1213

Don't know why dad had so many of them but as I was going through 700+ stamps # 1213 I found this interesting cancel. It is a picture of something but what?

George in the shower? is that the only stamp your Dad accumulated like that ? It was the common definitive in the early 1960s

No my dad had many stamps in envelopes in a box. It is a challenge sorting them all out. Some of them listed below.

108 stamps #552
120 stamps #562
192 stamps #583
198 stamps #807
131 stamps #1035
104 stamps #1036
114 stamps #1044a
177 stamps #1208
101 stamps #1282 & #1303
186 stamps #1283
125 stamps #c64

The rest are below a hundred but still a lot of them. Dad was in the army for 23 years and I think he had all his
friends save stamps for him. After that he open an indoor flea market and got some stamps there.
I know there are different colors in each set so I will have to figure it out some how.

This is only the US stamps. Many more stamps from around the world.

WOW, thats a lot of stamps, consider yourself lucky you can build some serious trade packets. I think I have another 2-3 thousand unsorted world wide myself then I'll have to start trading for more with my doubles. which wont be easy since mine are mostly canceled min value.

Yes I am lucky. My dad also bought stamps every time a new one came out from USPS so I have a couple of boxes of new stamps to go through. Most are full sheets. He also bought little packets of new stamps from all over the world. I am still looking for ways to organize all of them.

Interesting cancel. Hard to make out what it is. I have one with a cancel of a bee. Your looks bigger but it looks like two wings that could be a bee.

Can you post a picture of your bee?

The cancel is the mascott of the United States Navy Seabees.

It was suggested that recipe boxes (index boxes) are the right size for blocks in glassine envelopes. There are lots of us going thru this apparently.
