Don't know about "Top 1 of MNH" Tom. Perhaps it refers to a seller's image. Stamp is from a set of 2 commemorating the 15th anniversary of the UN. Here is a two-stamp set (Sc #s 1406-7) from Taiwan commemorating Nurses' Day. Issue date: May 12, 1964.   |

Quote: Stamp is from a set of 2 commemorating the 15th anniversary of the UN Thank you bookbndrbob for this. And yes, the "TOP1" thing must be some kind of reference.. Nice intaglio stamps from Taiwanese and Finnish - with proud faces. And the fireworks! (I might have a few stamps with that  ) Here is one more from Finland, the main light source is somewhere above and that is bright enough to read the New Testament, so two candles are not lit. Finland 10 October 1942 / Tercentenary of Introduction of Printing into Finland / design: A. Karjalainen, engrave: A. Laurén  |
