Mammon

Most unusual would probably be an MNH O106, a soft paper 3C Justice that I actually got at a flea market in the late 70's.
Its centered just in at left and has a couple of bent perfs and a toned? one But it was the 2+ stamp set-off I bought it for.
It was the first U.S. Official I had seen.






Edit; removed signature

Here goes my Official-Justice
Scotts U.S 029, 10cent Purple
I dont have any other stamp like it
Must have seen "littleriverphil" post over 10 times
before I realize we just about had the same oddity
Not sure if its a Cylinder Offset, Bleed-Through, or Abklatsch
Any thoughts from the guild .?.

How would you mount or hinge stamps like that? As you would if they had no offset? Or do you present them with the face "hidden" and the reverse side being the one showing?

I mount mine in mounts, face down, so that the offset / set-off side is visible.

Lalo.Man, you've got a Lincoln imp. That's his left leg, not a deformed todger. The right leg is tucked behind.

The "Lincoln Imp" Reference

The Lincoln Imp is a famous 14th-century stone carving inside Lincoln Cathedral in England. According to local legend, a mischievous imp was turned to stone by an angel. In depictions, the imp sits cross-legged with its left knee pointing up and its foot tucked down—a posture that frequently leads people unfamiliar with the figure to mistake its bent leg for an explicit anatomical feature (a "todger").

(A very unexpected tidbit of unknown knowledge now known)

Thank you Flightle_Bee

Lalo.Man- Glad to have been of service! It looks an old letter opener, an old Victorian souvenir from the city.

I did post this back in 2016 in a thread started by ikeyPikey RIP. The thread was called "Politically Incorrect Terms On Stamps."

This glassine, which stamps were sent out to club members in, back in 1930's and 1940's by Jamestown Stamps, may be of interest.

It speaks of "From the Land of the Frizzy-Haired"

"Showing that Papuan civilization has progressed
from eating the white man to celebrating his
coronation on postage stamps".

You know, I was really disappointed when I found out head shrinking doesn't actually involve shrinking the head.
