S4L, goodness me, how did you find that? I searched for ages. Well done and thank you. Volkart Bros: One of the earliest major commodity trading names in Switzerland was that of Volkart Gebruder, a company set up in 1851 simultaneously in Winterthur, along the shores of Lake Constance in Switzerland, and in Bombay in British-governed India. It grew to become the 4th largest cotton trader worldwide. Guess: Do we then conclude, the Puncture represents a cotton reel and yarn  My original guess was a Smoking Pipe manufacturer. |

One of my best friends collects India (he was in the Peace Corps in India many years ago) and would love this thread. Sadly, though, he is a dinosaur who mostly eschews the internet, and I can't get him to visit the forum. |

Hey rod222
It was on the angelfire.com website. I seem to remember getting the perfins link somewhere in this thread maybe. Sorry to spoil your new discovery. Being very new here I vividly remember how I felt when I discovered by 1st imperf stamp that was to be perf only to be told my another stamp club member the error in my ways. #128532;
Anyhow, it was fun looking. |

It always has amazed me, they are missing out on so much fun. I think a lot are anxious about broadcasting the written word. Yet, I guess I am similar in one respect, I have never been on Facebook, Twitter, or any of the other antisocial media doodads. |
