Keep Postal systems alive, buy stamps and mail often 01 May 2012 05:47:28pm
Tim has kindly added new images to the upper left hand corner of the web page but it would be nice for members to submit their favorite stamp(s)so the rest of us can can see what members have in their collection. Just submit a .jpg to Tim and allow him time to enter them in the database set aside to show random images.
All members who submit allow the rest of us to see what you collect....send them in to Tim.
I have to say, there is just something very beautiful and alluring about the old style stamps that were hand engraved and then had to be run through the printing press twice so that they had two different colors. The Jenny and the cook Island ones are just a small sample of what I consider to be a true art form back in the day. Any of the stamps with scenery or animals, like Mozambique Company’s stuff, just off the top of my head, just always makes me stop and gaze in wonder at them. Keep them coming folks.

heck, to heck with the images peter... I think I want your cook island stamps *Grin* (Although I'll probably try to get some of my Hungarian ones uploaded at some point)

re: New Images from Stamporama Members
Send those images to Tim's personal email address in an attachment so he can easily correct the size of each stamp for the database and entry into the program.
