I don't have this one but wish I did - the lovely Newfoundland codfish (Scott#24) from the 1865-1894 issue.  |

Thanks for posting that Newfoundland Codfish, Cynical,
I have been after an image of that for a while.
The original fish, was drawn straight, but wouldn't fit
the stamp vignette, so the tail was re-drawn curved.

Rod: you're welcome. Stepping out on a limb here but if I remember correctly that 2c codfish may have been the first fish stamp.
For those stampers and/or fish lovers I highly recommend a book entitled Cod - a Biography of the Fish that Changed the World. An absolutely fascinating read. |

Yes it is, you're right.  But the scanner is closed down for the night and that's all I had saved !  Guess I'd better go to bed before I post anything else !  Billingsgatebus1....I just knew there was something fishy about my post !  |
