Old stamps on recent letters
Several times I receive letters from the US of A. As people know that I collect -also- chickenstamps there are some times nice stamps on the cover. Also from an issue in 1948. The 3 cents stamps are still allowed on covers to pay the costs of sending a letter(for a part of course). In The Netherlands we don't have that for a long time. Only since 1977 the stamps keep their value for paying the postman. Because a lot of stamps are more valuable MNH than used it is not common to do so. Last week I received such a letter, with all "old" stamps on them, maybe to much on the cover, the cancellation was to much work for the post. You see here what -sollution- the postman has. Indeed good for the house of horror.. |

Thanks for your message, will try to keep you all informed.
Cool use of the chicken stamps. I still haven't mailed off that RAF cover to you, sorry for the delay. I'm so damned busy it's on a warmer though. I got a list of must do's.
I've still got a set of pope stamps for Monica from Argentina or Chile, and I can't remember which!!!! I also can't get onto All Nations Stamp club because I've been barred by a manager. I think I may have offended someone unintentionally by spewing about my political/personal views on a subject that may be more volatile then I as an average US citizen would realize(though I think I kind of do).
Hello JimmyB.
Just take your time to things in the way you like(or have to do).
Can wait, just mailed you privately for "the situation" you mentioned.
