I posted my unused UX1 and UX8 in this thread last April, right after I bought them at WESTPEX. I really like the early Hawaiian postal stationery, too. Part of it has to do with my fascination with the language, which I want to learn someday. I'd love to be able to read the Hawaiian translations of The Hobbit and Alice's Adventures in Wonderland that I have in my collection! |

Volapük (See five posts earlier)
Quote from Omniglot site:
Volapük ("World Language") was invented in 1879 by Johann Martin Schleyer, a German priest who lived in Baden. Schleyer claimed the idea for creating an international language was suggested to him by God in a dream.

It's a 5 piastres Consulates revenue from 1885, McDonald #11 Wow! finally.......... that fellow has been sitting on my desk for a month. irritating me. Thank you Nigel. Off to see it in McDonald.......... The paper was a quizling, coming in at .012" , somewhere between a wrapper and a postcard. Update: I may send this to ONEPS for appraisal it definitely is on card of some sort, not a stamp (other than a pre printed type on card) ATHENS? Curious.  |
