Thank you rod222 for beautiful intaglio stamps - I was not aware of the second one, which makes me very excited, as "lattice tower" or "pylon" is another topic I collect, as well as "column and arch frame" and even "chimney with smoke" ... many ticks!

Here is one of pylon stamps, which shows large size glass insulators shined in sky, as symbol of industrial development.

I am pleasantly taken by your eclectic, thematic passions.
Philately welcomes all.

"Lattice tower" is a new term for I.

To reply LaoPhil's feature, the engineer maintaining the insulator. In this case, the insulators are glass, horizontally connected and that is for power cables, I guess.

This stamp is also hydroelectric power generation. These multiple mushroomy shaped insulators are for power transmission cables.

Brilliant table of stamps already on - thank you rod222! From now on we don't need to turn pages to check the previous features.. well, what happened missing 21 by the way? Copyright issue??

And I am adding my latest finding (by chance!), lovely one with round mushroomy vintages.

One of the mysteries of IT Tom,
I was downloading, and just numbering 1,2, etc
up to 71

When I attempted to collate under Fastone, some stamps were missing.
It was late, I had toothpicks holding my eyelids open.
Perhaps I forgot to 'save" on those particular downloads.

Great, rod222! thank you for your effort to visualise all listed ones in this thread. I have bookmarked this page! And still adding more.. I hope you don't mind.. ? : )

This is well-known one from Linn's Stamp News - but not listed here, so I am featuring. Amazing depiction of detail of wiring and sneak view of inside of the insulation.
