(not for two old bald guys!!)

. . . but I beat you by a nano-second . . . I shouldn't have paused to comb my hair.

Hey! Finally a question I can easily answer! Yes you can see how many times your item has been viewed and how many buyers are 'watching' it --- just scroll down to midway on your item page, and look for two small light gray boxes in the middle of…

OH!

Referring to the red 25 Para stamp above: > "The design looks, to me, to be a stylized eagle keeping guard over its children." Wow - you have a much better imagination than I do, Ted. • All I see is a flying Harbor Seal with a plumed tail and f…

What in the world is that arcing image above the boats??! I can't make it out . . but I'm sure intrigued to know what that is!

. . . our Top 20 Sellers, each of whom sell over $20,000 per month with us . . . WOW!!

Can't wait for that! He was an unsung genius!!

Another terrific installment, Ted! I had never heard about that color-missing error on the North American Wildlife sheet of 1987 - my all-time favorite US issue! Say, if I get you that Martin Mörk book for Christmas, could you get me one of the Wi…

Not if Congress finally gets on the ball and passes the 'Permanent Daylight Savings Time' bill that has been before them for more than a year!

I'm very sorry I scheduled this special offering during a week that had one less hour than normal! Please forgive me. I'll make it up to you next time! https://www.hipstamp.com/store/bennett-cachetoons

My wife looked at this post and said, "Why didn't you just say you were celebrating St. Patrick's Day a little early?" You know . . . simple is best. HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY a little early!

Happy Birthday, General, SIR!!

You're right, Ted -- I was thinking of it (optimistically) as a more of a reward system!

Another drive-by-shooting by a non-participating interloper in the Penny Black giveaways!! It is certainly speaks to Mark's integrity and honesty that he doesn't just discard the names with zero feedback and move on to the next name pulled out of t…

Póstphil has closed up shop and is no longer selling stamps to walk-up customers at their longtime store in downtown Reykjavík. This is a photo they posted of the last of the store's stock on hand, packed up and headed for storage!

Are those raccoons in the trash cans?? Very true-to-life!

I dig those 'Santa' lamp posts!!

50 years?!?! WOW - CONGRATULATIONS!!

"The reverse of the envelope does not show a "deboss' probably because the envelope was produced on a flat sheet then die cut, folded and glued afterwards." But this is a Post Office Dept. Stamped Envelope, so that can't be true, can it? The posta…

Thanks for that information, Wayne! It makes much more sense in this case than someone pouring tiny and thin bronze 'badges' and gluing them to the envelopes! I am familiar with embossing, but not with the use of a 'bronze' foil, as this cachet w…

That's sure interesting!! I'm going to show your scan to a couple of Classic Era Specialists that I know and see if they are familiar with this cachetmaker. I'd love to know his identity as much as you would!
-
"The vignette Is brass." Really??! I'm surprised! It must not be very thick . . . or maybe they were created that way so the FDC could be used as a paperweight! I've never seen one like that -- is it glued to the envelope, or visible through a …
-
Not being able to examine the cachet closely, I think I would have to say that this is a latter-day 'add-on' cachet, with the bas-relief image of Washington applied recently to a blank FDC by a contemporary collector with a computer printer. This h…

Wow! Thank you, George! Very eloquent of you!

The trick was, there is no 'Smith' in the signature -- it's just William III. I can check out that article on my handy First Days archives CD!! (as you probably did! Such a great reference tool!)

And I love all the great covers you offer!!

Yep -- it was just confirmed to me: WILLIAM III CACHETS
