There are only three of these aircraft in existence today. This is the beginning story of one them.

I do encourage anyone with a love of history and research to join me in a slow thread (to solve a mystery).

I'll say this...get ready for sticker shock (er, no pun intended) should you turn toward Bhutan...in other words, don't do it....put the candle back.
I rarely open the foil collection book but check this out...Ajman no less lol -

Nice collection there.

I keep running across the gold foil stamps and they definitely store well if not used for postage!

Why do I get the hunch you are heading toward Bhutan and the vinyl record stamps?

I have a question. Actually quite a few. I am actually feeling sadness here. When did you begin collecting? What were the circumstances and inspirations that led you forward?

Uitstekend experiment.

To some, this stamp isn't the first U.S. stamp with a Native American theme.
The argument being specificity to a singular theme i.e., Columbus in this case.

Convenient.

This stamp literally reads:
Columbus. Presenting. Natives

Think about it, and...
Happy Indigenous Peoples Day

Fairly easy to find, and sometimes, quite relevant!

Best.

We need a leader similar to Dr King or Gandhi to start an organizated peaceful resistance movement.

Who should it be?
