October 2nd

Got a bunch of stamps in this envelope (see for stamps further below)

 

Notice the "Please Do Not Bend" part? Well the person working for USPS did not notice it and tried to make it fit.... Luckily no stamps were damaged. Also I was wondering how they can still use non Euro denominated stamps to mail these out?

Switzerland 1852 Michel no 12

Michel number 12, Scott number 12 as well

Not the best margins unfortunately…  Hopefully in the future I will get a cleaner specimen

Just filling in gaps in my collection  :-)

Added to my collection August 2022

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

August 1

Bavaria 1911 Prince Regent Luitpold Scott 86/91

August 12

France Cover with Sc #33 - 20c Napoleon III, Rouen Rodez to Toulouse

The seller who sold this to me listed this as Rousen, but it looks like it's from Rodez

You can find all the numbers (Gros Chiffres) for the towns here: https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_des_bureaux_de_poste_fran%C3%A7ais_class%C3%A9s_par_oblit%C3%A9ration_Gros_Chiffres

I also got this comment from a twitter user: It is said, I don't know if it's true, that when a stamp bearing the effigy of Napoleon III was stuck upside down, it meant his disapproval of the political regime in place

France 1856 Folded Letter Sc #15a - 20c Napoleon III St Etienne to Mulhouse

I just love the Napoleon III stamps.... these are my second favorite French stamps, the first beong the Ceres stamps of course 

August 16

August 21

Germany 1936 Olympic Summer Games Scott B82-B89, Michel 609-616

Added to collection July 2022

 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

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

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

Japan Moonin stamps

I got these as a swap with someone from the UK, I thought they looked cute so I got them. Don't have too many Japanese stamps but I am working on changing that  :-)

Don't know the year or catalog numbers for these
