Stamps That Make You Go... Huh???

Italy, 1912, "Re-erection" of the Campanile at Venice.
Let's ask Dr. Freud what he thinks of this one.
A--ahem--tower, surrounded by--mounds?

Mexico - Scott 288



Chihuahua Horses?

There is definitely a weird scale issue here. I would say maybe Great Danes pulling the stage coach.

Those would truly be dogs of the working class.

On the other hand, maybe the stage and riders are oversized. How big would that stage have to be to make those horses look so small?

Mules, maybe?

Draft-horses are usually HUGE, so ordinary horses would look small, but not that small.

When I was young my great-grandparents were still using Percherons (Ned and Bob) to plow. Their hooves were almost the diameter of dinner plates! (Dinner plates of the time, anyway. Dinner plates now would have been serving plates then!)

2 more thoughts. The building in the background looks a little bit like Chapultepec castle, which sits atop a hill in Chapultepec park in Mexico City. This was built as Maximilian I's residence.

Also, the image of the coach and tiny horses takes me back to my childhood, when my dad took me to see the Barnum and Bailey circus.

Panama - 2000



Quite a character from Star Wars!

Jorge, That stamp is really funny, and yojur comment even funnier.

Anyone like to risk a guess at what this figure might be? The Andorran artist's/sculptor's name is Carro Votiu. (I have no idea how big the object is.)

That's not the Trojan Horse?

2000 was the Chinese Year of the Dragon. So, like many countries, Kosovo released a souvenir sheet to celebrate the occasion. Some of the most beautiful "DRAGONS" I have ever seen.

This creature is enough to scare the dinosaurs away! They might have felt safer on the dinosauer thread. Australians have the most wonderful sense of humor. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Merino

The original is more interesting than the stamp. Cheers,

Yeah, they "cleaned it up" a little too much.

Part of a series commemorating Danish artists released on Aug 25 2010.

This one is for Henry Heerup 1907 1993 who was a painter and sculptor.



Looks like a teapot, within the handle is Eros with his bow & arrow & a couple of hearts, obviously a love theme here. In the centre appears to be a couple - WHAT IS THAT COUPLE UP TO! ON A POSTAGE STAMP YET! IS THERE NO DECENCY LEFT IN THE WORLD! Now there's a topic for discussion, has there ever been any decency in the world?

Hi, YeaPolska; What a fun teapot house (it's obviously a house when you look at the bricks). I'm guessing they are pixies, friendly wee folks usually not seen by us. Many live in Scandinavian countries as well as in England. You can consider yourself lucky to have them around your own home whereas having trolls around can be very unsettling.
