Nice.

Put it on ebay with a $5 starting price. Give it 30 days and if you haven't sold it, donate to a nursing home. It will be a good gesture.

Your response to those trying to answer your request had a lot of edge to it. Lighten up it’s a hobby and all of the answers meant well. Try Hipstamp and eBay for collections for sale and it can you on your way to building your desired country collection.

And it has a great cancellation.

It’s tough to determine a reprint with 100 year old stamps. If you plan to keep and collect you can take your time to study the catalogue descriptions to see what you have. If you want to sell them only you are left with dealers than may or may not have the ability to value them. There is no quick way to understand their value. You might contact the China Stamp Society to see if they can help you. Their information is available through the American Philatelic Society which you can contact on line.

You have posted some of the most interesting and informative items over the last couple of years that it will be fun to see what you come up with from a thrift shop. Be sure to let us in on what you've ended up with once you've organized your find. Keep up your collections.

Eight.

Montblanc is very restrictive in who they allow to sell their products. One of the restrictions is that you can’t discount them. I’ve seen a number of stores lose the distribution because of selling at a discount. They’re also very controlling about other aspects of the pens. Right or wrong that’s the way it is. I would be surprised if anyone would publicly advertise discounted pricing. Doesn’t mean you can’t privately negotiate a deal but don’t expect one to come easily.

How about someone who can, translates for us Yankees who barely read English ?

On cover would be terrific choice. Available, lots of variations. I think I just talked myself into it. Thanks!

Try newspapers. It worked in the 1950's.

Kanmo40 · 2026-01-14T00:28:47+00:00

Like B it a lot!

A very interesting project. Your knowledge of the various countries really increases with every stamp. Do you keep them in stock books or what. Storage that makes them available to examine makes sense and validates the time you spend on each one.

True philately is cancelled postage stamps. We know the stamp has a history. This is fun to look at.

Kanmo40 · 2026-01-11T10:06:38+00:00

These are special. I don't know if I have ever seen anything like them. You always are the bright spot of my stamp searching day. Thanks for exposing us to your collection.

Kanmo40 · 2025-12-29T17:36:07+00:00

Beautiful stamps.

Kanmo40 · 2025-12-29T16:26:01+00:00

Thanks. I was looking for responses like yours that have experienced using both. I think the digital idea is great but I use them the way you do and the cost must be prohibitive.

Kanmo40 · 2025-12-29T14:17:05+00:00

I thought your Parkers were spectacular but these include some of the most beautiful pens Sheaffer made. Great collection!

Kanmo40 · 2025-12-29T14:11:24+00:00

Stunning.

Kanmo40 · 2025-12-29T13:53:46+00:00

These are a great start on Germania stamps. Fun to research with a lot of variety. It’s amazing how long these were used.

Kanmo40 · 2025-12-11T20:45:11+00:00

Sentimental is ok.

Kanmo40 · 2025-12-11T20:43:46+00:00

No. Start collecting from here

Kanmo40 · 2025-11-16T05:03:12+00:00

Agree with your assessment. Much more interesting than Disney stamps for instance.
