I particularly enjoy some of the details I see on stamps. How about a quiz on them? If interest continues, every Friday I'll post a quiz to see who first recognizes a detail in a stamp's design. No giveaways, just keeping score. Some of them will be easy, some will not. So: Which country/entity issued the stamps with the detail below?  |

OK, so maybe my #1 quiz was too ambitious. Let's try it again with more detail.  |

Quiz #2. Which country/entity issued the stamps with this detail on them? First one to answer correctly today gets 2 points. If I have to put up an easier version Saturday, it'll be worth 1 point. So far, Florian leads wth 1 point.  |
