This is not good at all. Over 12 hours and not a single guess. What is happening out there, everyone sleeping or what? Let's try another clue and see what happens.
There, now isn't that mucho grande better?
Good luck!

Sorry Jan-Simon, but you're not even close! But I think I remember seeing a French restaurant there on one of our cruises. OOOPPPPSSS, I just gave away another big clue. This country is accessible to cruise ships. Hope that helps!

Pssst, just for you Jan-Simon, it is not Panama, but don't tell anyone. It seems that with over 200 hits on this posting someone else would have made a guess by now.
I think this stamp would be a good stamp to be the 1st to "March" to.

"I think this stamp would be a good stamp to be the 1st to "March" to."
For one tiny moment I thought it might be US Sc. #880 but for various reasons that is impossible. Do not count it as a real guess.
Are there musical instruments on this stamp?
You are right Jan-Simon, it's impossible for this stamp to be US 880 since 880 is a Red stamp, and there are no musical instruments. You will have to "Wise" up if you want to fly away with this beauty. I would say something about uranus, but some may be offended if that were said.
Oh well, here is another clue before I hit the rack to get my beauty sleep.
night, night y'all

Cawabunga Batman, this must really be a tough one to identify, with over 300 hits on the posting and only one semi-guess. It must be time for another clue, since it has been over 12 hours since that last body of a clue. Hoo knows, maybe the caligo will disappear and some lucky person will fly, on gossamer wings, over and type in the dollar answer.

Good job Merv, you hit the nail on the head. I was kind of leery about that uranus part, but figured it would all come out in the wash. I will have your stamp in tomorrow's outgoing mail, if my computer can manage to type all of those names.
Thanks to everyone that played and here is what the stamp looks like.

Yes the final clue was very helpful. What made it even worse was that i had seen that stamp when I was searching for owls (the 'wise' clue) and didn't make the connection, it was only when I started looking for moths and butterflies ('gossamer wings')that I made the link. I looked at so many space stamps because of the Uranus clue, I only hope Mike got you as well with that one. http://stamporama.com/images/ei_happy.gif
Thanks Mike for a great contest. please don't leave it for a year again. Jansimon and I have our Catalogues poised for the next one.
Merv,
Glad the stamp arrived in good condition and you do like it. That really was a tough quiz and I can't believe how long it took to even get the first guess. I actually went into my files and generated more clues because I figured they were going to be necessary.
There may just be another MSQ in the near future!
