rod, I just noticed your post above showing this Goose Girl item.  Was this from one of the Swedish Post information sheet? If ok with you I would like to add it to the thread where we discussed the printing of this stamp. https://goscf.com/t/48221&whichpage=2 |

we discussed the printing of this stamp. G'day LG, yes, and, by all means go ahead, (I have a few other pages yet on the printing) All my stuff, is free to use, for betterment of the hobby, and enjoyment. (Appreciate due recognition only...In the case have I used someone else's material) |

As nice as Swedish stamps are, both in design and production,
It is of my opinion, they do fail in their brevity of information.
Quite often, even with Slania's work, there is no date, or information.
Take the above Waxholm boat.
For any novice appreciating the stamp, there is nothing there to inform,
hence the initial curiosty is dulled.
One has to be a stamp collector, with a catalogue to fully appreciate.

Thanks Rod. I received and kept all the new issue announcements from the PFA from 1970 to 1987 so I figure that printing info would have been included. Guess I misplaced it. I agree with you about the scarcity of information on Swedish stamps especially on their definitives where there is zero. Take this Scott 747A issued in 1971. Scott calls it Nils Holgersson Riding Wild Goose. Fine if you have Scott, then googling it will inform you in dozens of pages about The Wonderful Adventures of NilsBut back in the ancient pre-internet 1970s where would I have found this info? I don't think local libraries here in Canada would have had a copy of this foreign fairy tale book then. |

I'm working Sweden and Steiner pages right now.
Do you use a scanner or could I post a picture from iPhone? |
