#StampSaturday

ANK 784/791, Mi 776/783, Yvert 638/645

This is lovely Antifa set from Austria. You might find another pair related to the set that were unreleased but can be found as fascimile stamps. The set was released in 1946.
Images show: swastika dagger through Austria, broom cleaning up the axis powers, burning cathedral, hand in a concentration camp, hand holding a nazi snake by the neck, nazi symbols being smashed, re-defining the republic, Austria rising from the ashes of naziism.

Well you wouldn't read my letters if I wrote you.
You asked me not to call you on the phone.
But there's something I'm wanting to tell you.
So I wrote it in the words of this song.

#StampSaturday - This just in from Deutsche Post. Released 4 September as part of their TV hits series. I'm a big fan of many things German, great novel, great movie, great soundtrack. The stamp shows a TV screen showing a still of a U-boat running on the surface of the sea.

#StampSatruday Yes, I missed it this past weekend but here is another of my "bog standard" likes. From Italy in 1960 from the definitive set "Italia turrita".
Stamps show Italia turrita, the national personification or allegory of Italy, is the appearance of a young woman with her head surrounded by a mural crown completed by towers. Three values shown - 30 brown, 40 pink and 70 green.

Can you see the World's current nut-job's golf course on this one?

This is what the 'tasched megalomaniac of the second world war wanted for Germany.

This is another "bog standard" stamp that introduced me to this fine hobby. It is from Belgium: King Baudouin "Marchand" Definitives, 1953-72). This is the 6F carmine red. Not sure which one I had as there are several types.
Portrait of King Baudouin of Belgium from the 60s, probably.

This is one of the stamps that got me into collecting. This is (ANK 1589, SCN 964, Mi 1430, Yvert 1259) and is part of Austria Post's "Beautiful Austria" definitive series. The stamp shows a view of the Almsee back from when stamp designers were allowed to show their craft.

Good morning everyone. It’s #StampShareSaturday and time to show one of my favourite stamps. As this is my first time here, I have chosen this GB Scottish 1st class definitive showing the lion rampant as it's my first post.

#WeekendSingles Found in a random box of possibly a hundred that I bought on a whim. Why were they gotten rid of? No idea but I have enjoyed playing through them, cataloguing them, and seeing what else comes up on recommendations.
7" 45 rpm of Agnetha Fältskog's, "The Heat Is On".
