What country/entity issued the stamps with this detail on them?
Two points for the first person to correctly identify it; one point if we need to post an easier version Saturday afternoon.

Ed - Can you do a version of this contest for people like me that are constantly stumped? Maybe a flag with the word "Forever" on it?

Looks like a stamp for the zombie apocalypse.

But I'm guessing the Netherlands?

rogdcam, when I made a note here about how hard some of the clues are and as a joke brought a scan of the tip of a stamp - someone solved it

First--I have no clue. That said, this is not a guess, but with a tagged person, perhaps a country in Europe near Germany but still no clue. I look each week, and look again for the answer and then to myself I say, yep, no way I'll ever win a point.

These are just for you, rodgcam, from hard to easy:

Hard, even with flag:


Now moving south with proof you don't need "flag" or "forever" and to less hard:


This is the most easy to help you learn you understand Using Small Philatelic Snapshots:


Now moving north, are you still stumped by the first one?



.











Answers: Not about Maple Leaf syrup and just north of "Not France," Not France but thank you, Not France again.

Do okay?

Edit to answer NSK below: You overlook the reason I inserted South and North which was to further help narrow down the choices for rogdcam who lives in the US. Also I must point out that while it was a gift from France, the green lady who has appeared on stamps in her country of housing, has at time not been from a photo of the gifted one but the reproduction at New York-New York Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. I do not know which, original or reproduction, was used for the booklet stamp shown. As to the Maple Leaf [2005], I selected that image because the flag does not infer any country. Perhaps you would have preferred the image below for which the clue, 'Not France' would also work on the joint issue.Not to put too fine of point on this, as the post was intended as humor and just for rogdcam, there is no country north of France which shares a border and uses a iconic maple leaf; a statement that would hold true for any wallpaper issuing stamp entity except one, Not France.

"Not France" makes a difference. As these do not show "forever" I would not hesitate a moment seeing that fragment of a maple leaf. The Statue of Liberty, however, could also be French a team for a French issue. Bartholdi was French. His birth house in Colmar is a museum.

Mind you, enough countries that issue wallpapers would see the Statue of Liberty as a good theme to part collectors with their money. Most of those would not consider that flag in the Maple Leaf.

I might as well guess at the answer: United Kingdom.
