German Stamps assorted.





What a great Christmas gift this was from Debbie & Robin! Made me gather up all my old German stamps, including Empire, and sort them out on pages.












If anyone can identify the last two on the right, second row of this page, please leave me a comment, I'd appreciate it! Thanks. Ok I've identified the first one, it's an "official" from Wurttemburg, German state and the second one is an inflation issue.

The Stamp and First Day Cover of " The Opening Memorial of the Games of the XXIX Olympiad"














Again, how lucky am I? In September we had vistors from China and they brought this as a gift for me! It had just been released. I was slow in scanning. I only scanned the pages with stamps, not the facing pages.

Beijing Olympic stamps, Sports Program II album









Since so many of you, from all over the world, are searching Beijing Olympic Stamps, I decided not to be lazy and to scan this album also. It's 12 pages in size. I've not scanned the postcards in the book that follow the stamps posted nor have I scanned the pages that hold the stamps. Again, I'm lucky to have such well travelled friends! I hope you enjoy these pages and if you do, please leave a comment. Thanks!

2 cent Washington, private perforations

I bought an old stamp album today, 1917, and this was in it. Not a terribly common stamp. I might have to have someone look at it. To get technical, I think it may be a Schermack Type III perf, I'm certainly no expert and could easily be wrong. If you know something or someone I should talk to, drop me a comment. Thanks!
