My favourite stamp - and a question about the cancellation

Post image
12 Upvotes

A 1967 4d Deep Sepia. Allegedly also the late Queen's favourite stamp. I love it additionally for the Maltese Cross cancellation. This was obviously a promotional cancellation - my question is, Does anyone know the circumstances of the cancellation? Was it a Post Office thing used for a period of time? A first day cover thing? Or a promotion at an event like Stampex International?

Question about selling

Post image
15 Upvotes

Found probably 200 plus pages of mint condition stamps as well as probably 20 thousand other stamps organized in books and chronologically from the 1880s onward. I posted an example of one of the sheets. I would like to sell the entire collection. Anyone have any suggestions? I would have no problem listing individual sheets however, I do not want to wait years to see any money. Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks.

Last Stamp of Czecho-Slovakia 1939

Post image
13 Upvotes

No, it is not a typo. Czechoslovakia became Czecho-Slovakia in the late autumn of 1938 after the Munich agreement. The name was changed to reflect the new federative status. The state survived less than six months, on March 15th 1939 the Czech part became the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia, a day earlier Slovakia became an independent state. Carpathian Ukraine tried to do the same but it was immediately occupied by Hungary. The preparation of new stamps was so slow that when they were issued in late March 1939, Czecho-Slovakia did not exist any more. They were just two - both earlier designs with the new name and, in this case, currency. Czechoslovak koruna became Czecho-Slovak koruna so instead of the earlier abbreviation KC there is only K. Two more stamps were printed - commemorating Andrej Hlinka, Slovak leader - but they were issued by Slovakia overprinted with the name of the new state Slovak Republic.

How to mount?

I’ve inherited a collection of stamps from my grandfather. Instead of leaving them in the book(dated 1920) I’d like to display them in picture frames so that we get the benefit of seeing some of these amazing stamps. Lots from countries that don’t exist anymore, which is interesting. How do I go about doing this safely and not causing any long term damage. Thanks in advance.

I have two of these which were soaked off of an envelope a few years ago. I can’t find this stamp in the Unitrade catalog or anywhere online. Google reverse image search turns up nothing. Is it fake?

Stamp Album

Found a stamp album in my Dads gun safe. He had a very large stamp collection, but mostly stamps from letters, USPS Commemorative Stamps from 80s & 90s, stuff of very little value.

I'm not sure why these stamps were in the safe, what the numbers he wrote down mean, etc. Most stamps are protected by plastic and not cancelled, even though the album is old and faded.

Anything interesting or valuable to collectors?

I plan to sell most of what I've found at an estate sale, thousands of stamps, but nothing really of any interest. Just wondering why he kept these in the safe vs rest of collection.

I collect old "medical devices" (more like medical quackery)and have a violet wand with original spam as my children so nicely called it.

It included an envelope with an invite to the original buyer to invest in more bleadon dunn items.

A coworker suggested I post the stamp and see if anyone has info on it, it looks like there were a few different varieties floating around then.

Thanks for any info.

My uncle had these on the wall. I figured that this community would appreciate some of them. He worked at an office where a lot of mail was going in and out. At the end, he saved some of them.

Stamps I inherited

Hi all, inherited my grandfathers stamp collection (he died before I was born some fifty years ago) I don’t know what to do with these. I really don’t have the time or interest to try and sell them one by one. I don’t know anything about stamps except some of the, are interesting and quite beautiful. My GF was in the Royal Navy from the 30s to late 40s. He was a mailman after the war. My question is should I just dump them in one sale? I have a bag of them on paper with navy port of call stuff it seems anyway I’ll post some of the interesting ones as well as England Germany etc. if you want to see another country I’ll post it.
