Rediscovered a few Greeks I didn't know I had, and found these maps. The 1930 is a bit stained, but it's an old country.   The one on the right is post war commemorating concentration camps. Sobering. |

Does anyone have a Scott number for that orange Panama stamp with the map and plane on it? |

cynical - I believe the Panama airmail stamp posted above is Scott No. C112, issued on August 4, 1949. It was engraved and printed by the American Bank Note Company. - nethryk |

Nethryk: thanks for the info on the Panama stamp. It has sort of an Indiana Jones look to it. The colour matches a 1970 Dodge Challenger I once owned. I would be remiss if I didn't thank you for the time and effort you put into your posts. It makes the database and search function so much more valuable. |

cynical - Glad to be of help. I have always enjoyed researching the stamps in my collection; the world wide web has made it infinitely easier to do so. It's good to hear that you appreciate the results, too.  - nethryk |
