I'm pretty sure the train on the 7c is the TurboTrain from United Aircraft...it was used in Canada and the U.S. for a number of years. |

Not really fair to the Norwegian stamps placing them right next to the Mocambique one.  It really shows how much better the "old" stamps looked compares to the modern ones. |

Forgive me if I'm repeating, as I've not been through this thread. I'd like to show a favorite, not because it is great, but because it is such a step up from Denmark's usual stamps.  |

Great timing folks. Here is one I need help with -- unknown country (Belgium Maybe) and train type. Is it even a postage stamp?  |

That's a lovely stamp, and a knockout train Butterfly,
It is a genuine Belgian Railway parcel stamp,
probably "back of book" in any catalogue you have.
(after the general Belgian listings)

Belgium Railway Parcel stamp. Kind of a cinderella to some but in Scott at the back of the book listings as type Q... numbers. Train people like them. I don't have a catalogue for Belgium yet. One of these mint ($41.00 asking) on ebay now http://cgi.ebay.com/Belgium-Railway...em483a3ad841They say 1949 Belgium Scott Q325, COB (Catalogue of Belgium?) CF320. |

Thank you Puzzler and Rod! I see it in my 1982 catalog, only 15c, though still a keeper. Unfortunately, knowing how my mind works, I will now be struggling for the next ten years trying to complete the set.
Edit--anyone care to relieve me of that burden?

I am trying to limit myself to those with hexagon cancels, the older types of these. Thanks though. |

Hmm -- can't even give it away? -- The cancel is a hexagon though -- just not symmetric. |

It js isn't it? I hadn't thought of that before now. I was concentrating on the regular hexagons. I have purchased a few mixed packets of these Belgium railway stamps and have not sat down to sirt them out. I;'ll take it if you want to send it and may I send you anything in return? Darn, did not notice if you were 50 posts or not to email me. I am puzzler47 on ebay if you have to . |
