Stamps for the Commemoration of 50 years of China's aerospace industry

Another lovely gift from my travelling friends. I had asked for "a" stamp of this series and look what I got! A beautiful
presentation commemorative folder... spoiled, spoiled... :)

Beijing Olympic stamp collections (Sport Poses; The Five Friendlies)

I'm lucky in that I have well travelled friends. This is the cover and the stamps of one of the special edition albums I have for the upcoming, very controversial, Beijing Olympics. Each sheet is on a page of the book along with the background/description with illustrations.

Assorted, perfins, pre-cancels and officials

Also not sorted out yet!

Italy Stamps

Haven't looked into these yet.

USA stamps -

One of these days, I'll sort this out! As soon as I can tell one issue from another. Bottom few rows are modern.

Mexico Stamps

Friends just brought me these from Mexico. The woman at the post office gave them a Mexpost, priority mailing envelope, the light cardboard kind, to give me as a gift from her! It celebrates Mexican Culture/History in stamps.
It's a bit too big for my scanner.

France, Sower type

Two different issues here with a rather late use of the 25c orange.
