The girls in the second row, are charity labels
"for blind women and girls"
I have a set of 4 (lovely colours)
would love to see them. my information was that there were only 3 in the set (Croatian, Slovenian and Serbian - native costumes on the girls)
the ships in the first photo are part of a set of 8 (4 ships - warship, steamer, sailing ship and yacht; 2 languages - Cyrillic and Latin)
didn't catch that I had the 2 stamps stacked, was rushing to put them into the stock card to scan. (it is a duplicate, so no new images)
Quote:
and the top scan bottom right I have never seen,
and I'll pinch the scan for my
"Telegraph pole glass insulators on stamps" collection
I have an extra one of the telephone pole, say the word, and it's yours. As a matter of fact, I have a lead on a mint block of 4 of them that I will probably order in the next week or 2.
