Mr. 9, it was wt1 who provided the terrific info about your dog sled (a neat little item in itself). Afraid I can't take any credit.
But I'm glad you like my cindys. |

What I found odd about that item is that it references Alaska as the 49th state and I believe Alaska attained statehood in 1959. Alaska IS the 49th State. Although you are correct that it attained Statehood in 1959, it became a State on January 3, 1959. On the other hand, Hawaii became a State on August 21, 1959, thus it is known as the 50th State. |

Here's a little pile on paper, recently discovered in an envelope full of world wide material. You never know what you'll find!  |

Just found today. It seems from the 1930 decades with a portrait of H.M. the Queen, when she was a child.  |

Maloja Pass on the Swiss canton of Graubunguen (16 km west of Saint Moritz) with a "cabrio" post-auto or postal bus. The most popular travelling mean in the Swiss Alps. I was very close to this place last August, that's why I liked it!  |

Hi james
These were produced by the Tatham stamp & Coin Company of Springfield, Mass.
I believe in sheetlets of 10 and they also came in different colours. I don't have an example as I have always been outbid but I may have scan somehere.
The company imprint is in the bottom margin.

Those were also known as "Booster Stamps":  Back in the day, 100 of them cost 25 cents! They came in five different colors:  |

I was outbid on a sheet at £13+ [$21+] a short while ago and a similar bid failed a while before that. A far cry from 2½ cents back in the day. Tatham stamp & Coin Company items most often go for a premium it has to be said. Londonbus1 |

One of a number of Cindys I have acquired recently include this attractive label issued for the Jubilee celebrations of the Cyclists Touring Club, formerly the Bicycle Touring Club. The club was founded in Harrogate ,North Yorkshire in 1928 as a charitable organization looking after the welfare of cycling and cyclists. Printed by Perkins Bacon, the central [wheel] portion in Orange formed the Organizations logo as was [now changed].  |

The Paris Exposition labels are always nice to see and well produced. Beauties. Like the ASDA stuff to. Maybe Stampnut can put it also in the Philatelic Exhibition poster stamps thread ? Yeah !  |
