Here are some wild ones. 1863 and 1866 Colombia-Bolivar State stamps. Scott 2 and 3. Tiny little buggers. 10mm by 12 mm. How would anyone even know they were on a cover without a magnifying glass!!!
Just so you are aware that is not a postal card or post card. That is either an advertising or trade card with an FDC. (There is no place on the back for a stamp and address to be classified as a postcard nor is there a preprinted indicia by a government which would make it a postal card)
Oh I guess. Maybe it was printed off center. The left edge of the map has a margin on the card. I didn't really look at it in great detail, I just thought it was kind of cool looking.
This is a service that I'd never heard of. I only remember learning about the trans Atlantic cables. This must have been a bridge between telegraph and telephone. So yeah, it's cool.
The RCA radiotelegraph system was what we called Telex in the 1960s and 70s. I had a shortwave radio as a child and I remember the jumbled musical tone of telex stations. It was more secure than voice radio or phone service at the time. I don't know how Lindy got inverted, but the cat on the stamp was a tribute to the kitten found in his hanger the morning he took off.
Some Valentine's Day Eve eye candy. I have always liked the early intricate engraved stamps of the Vatican. Scott 149-153 1500th Anniversary of the Council of Chalcedon Set from 1951.

They are so full of themselves.
