  1. This grouped set of weather stamps is smaller than I expected, but it's perfectly sized. It fits into one of the larger pen loops in my folio. You just uncap it, line up the one you want, and press it.

    At first I was confused about why there was a ghost, but I figured I'd get some use of it around fall. After some searching, it's most likely a teru teru bōzu so basically means "it's been raining for so long I am trying to summon sunshine", which I completely understand.

  2. Stamps!!

    On the left British #stamps from 1969 which were the last predecimal stamp series. I am 3 stamps away from completing this set.

    On the right is the series of stamps that were introduced in 1971. I am missing more from this set however I am only missing regional variations of a few stamps. Regional issues of stamps are rarer and show where the stamps were issued. Those in Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales and the Isle of Man all have different national symbols.

  3. Happy 100th anniversary of birth to the late Queen Elizabeth II. Her Majesty would have been 100 today.

    In honour of the occasion, here are four images, three gold-coloured (not actual gold) coins, and some art:

    1) The 1st portrait by Mary Gillick, from an Australian pre-decimal penny: coinofnote.com/1963-australian

    2) The Arnold Machin portrait on the first circulating pound coin: coinofnote.com/1979-isle-of-ma

    3) Jody Clark portrait with memorial dates, on 2023 Sydney Opera House 50c: coinofnote.com/2023-sydney-ope

    4) Two composite images together - left: A picture I made, of coins with each of the portraits overlaid on a larger image of a penny with the Mary Gillick portrait. Right: A picture I bought of the Queen's portrait made up of stamps of her image.

  4. Nice..

    Found a sorta rare stamp. Only 500,000 exist. Worth like maybe £1 if I manage to get it off the cardboard lol.

    It's basically a updated version of the earliest QEII #stamp set.

  5. Yo someone be my #stamp swapping penpal for real please..

    I should be sleeping but I've just been trying to look up stamp groups and there is like none.

    I have way too many of the same stamps and I would like give them away for free but I don't know anyone that's into them 😭😪😪

  6. So I am making a stamp collection of historical British colonies.

    Its going to contain British colonies but only up to the year that they break off from the British and became independent.

    So Canada will be included but only up to 1874 and Hong Kong will up until 1991.

    Which kinda raises several questions..

    Do I order the folder alphabetically OR in the order that they broke off from the British? 🤔🤔🤔

  7. 1/?

    I know I've posted this stamp before but it is hilarious. It is so messy.

    It came out in 1920 Syria. Syria was part of the Ottoman Empire till the end of 1918 when it (the Empire) collapsed.

    In short the original overprinted text reads O.M.F, which stands for Occupied Enemy Territories in French which sounds super dark and funny....

    ... Its a bit like taking over the US and renaming them as "Land That Now Belongs To The Good Guys"

  8. Anyone have any information about Barbados in the late 1910s?

    What does victory 1919 mean?

    Love how it went through two processes to get a really nice contrast of yellow and black.

    I thought it was an independence thing but Barbados gained independence way later than you would think.... Looked up a timeline of historical events and got nothing.

  11. #The100DayProject 9/100.
    Hoy vamos con algo de historia con un sello de la República de Burundi de 1970. Aparece Michael Micombero, presidente de la república durante 10 años entre los cuales se cometió un genocidio contra la etnia hutu por un levantamiento que se reprimió duramente. También, en el sello, Adèle Nzeyimana.
    Hace unos años se presentaron informes sobre dicho genocidio. ¿Qué hizo el partido responsable en los años 70 cincuenta años después? Sorpresa, no reconocer los actos e intentar lavarse las manos. Ah, y también decir que ellos también fueron víctimas.
    Quizá, si revisáramos la historia más allá de occidente hubiésemos aprendido más. No sé. Desde luego es una asignatura pendiente.

  17. An evening of mostly sorting out #stamps into countries.

    I got interested in #stampcollecting over christmas and I found a box of over 3000 (feels way more) for £14 and I am still going through it.

    I sorted out my old Nigerian stamps and have decided to have make a album dedicated to British colonies. It will aim to have stamps from when it was became a British colony to when it gained independence.

    If anyone wants to be a stamp penpal pwease dm me. Needa find stamp frens ;-;

  18. [Possible thread of cool stamps.]

    I've still got one big ol' bag of stamps left that I have not gone through from the really cool collection I got a week ago or so.

    #stamps #stamp #hobby.

  19. How cool!! This stamp common tho' it may be to find and collect has this unique mark upon it.

    1st of April 1948 was when this was cancelled. Someone obviously did not have a cancellation stamp on them at the the time as they have decided to just write the date on the stamp which is so so cool.

    Ways of cancelling stamps, so they can not be used again, have been around since stamps have existed. This stamp has been literally written on in pen and I do not know why.

  20. For context I brought a "lot" of stamps online for £12 and it came in a big ol' card board box. It said 3000+ and it feels like a lot more...

    Most of what was in the box was bags of the same (ish) series. I have tons of machin stamps and butterflies and animals and just odd amounts of random ass countries.

    If anyone wants any please hit me up.

  21. Went through a big bag of stamps today. All are from Malaysia, and Malaya (which I still am not 100% sure are -now- independent countries) and Singapore (some of which occassionally say Malaysia Singapore on, and confuse me.)

    Oh and Malta... so many Malta ones.

    So many doubles but not a single full set >.<

    I want to do some ✨️arty shit✨️ with the ones that I have loads of. Stick em' to something and make idk ✨️art deco✨️
