 This will just be a post with all the stamps that I added to my collections in July 2022


July 2

Lombardy and Venice 1850 Scott #3

Lombardy and Venice 1850 Scott #3

For some reason Scott skips number 2... maybe things shifted around because there was a 60c blue stamp, however this one was never issued.  Either way.. just missing number 1 now from this set




Austria 1935 Scott B118/B121

Austria 1935 Scott B118/B121


This is listed in the Michel catalog as number 613/616, did I tell you how I hate that Scott separates the semi-postals? It is very annoying, especially when you have a set where 4 stamps are postage and 1 is semi postal (Olympic set from Germany comes to mind)

I always loved this set and Now I have added it to my collection


July 7
