For all of you newbies that are not familiar with the MSQ, this is what it's all about. I've selected a stamp from among the billions (yeah, right) that I have here in the stamp room, and it could be any stamp that was ever issued, anywhere in the world. I have made 10 different scans of small portions of that stamp and will be showing them at different parts of the day, or night, just to give folks on the other side of the world a fair chance. There may also be some silly little clues, to help you figure out just what the heck this stamp is,(yeah, right again) and where it might have been issued. The only rule is the winner will have to either identify the Scott catalog number or the year, date or something very significant about the stamp, to make it easily identifiable to the rest of the world and also the crotchety old judge, (that would be moi). To help make it even more interesting, the prize will be credit towards any of my future auction lots, since I don't have any live auctions at this moment, but will in the near future. You can guess all you want to and will probably receive a clue with the response to the guess, but then again maybe not. HA HA HA
OK, here is the first clue:
OH, that's a great clue Mike, everyone will be guessing that is from ...........!
GOOD LUCK EVERYONE.

OK, so that wasn't such a good start, not even a question or comment was issued in response to that wonderful clue. So let's try clue number two:
OH Mike, that's just mahvelous dahling, I know what that is, but I just can't put my finger on it.
All right y'all, don't be bashful, take a guess, ask a question, don't just sit there like a lump on a bog!

Lump on a bog? I thought it was a bump on a log or a lump on a stump. As a fan of both rhyme and onomatopoeia I find "lump on a stump" most attractive.

Yes, those were wonderful examples of what this actually might be, but there is no reasonable rhyme for this stamp. I think someone, don't know who, just switched some first letters around and instead of bump on a log, there is now lump on the bog. Some people just ain't got right proper English at'all. So now maybe you could hump your stump and identify this here little beauty.
Still a little early for another visual clue, but maybe a slight verbal clue will help. "This stamp is a foreign stamp - - - - unless you happen to live wherever this stamp is from."
More good luck to y'all,

I don't want to come out and name a country, so I'll just say anywhere south from France would probably be warmer. That is until you get so far south that the weather is very similar.
Maybe there should be another clue here, as a bonus for asking the question. Just don't share it with everyone, it's just for you.

Alright, I guess we've all waited long enough to see if there would be any responses to that last wonderful party scene clue. Golly I would have thought there would at least be at least one guess, that's what I get for thinking.
OK here comes another winner of a clue: 
No ifs, hands or butts about it, this ought to attract some comments, at the least.

I just can't seem to get to the bottom of this. The pantaloons look a tad like riding gear of an equestrian type, that is just a weak guess. Then again there is a person with bare feet, which are not good to have around shoed horses.
There's definitely a gathering of some sort.

Very good guess, Smauggie, but guess what? WRONG! The horses have left the scene, if they were even there. This theme is taken for an old event and back in them thar days a lot of people didn't even own shoes, while today there are still a lot of people that don't wear shoes, especially at some environs.
Since that last clue was posted just over an hour ago, let's see if we can get more responses before another clue is shown.

I've heard that "no man is an island", but this country is one in a million of what we commonly refer as islands, even though the word island is not part of it's name on this stamp. Plus I will concede that is colonial, that should narrow it down to several hundred anyway.
Oh, I went ahead and put together 5 more clues, so we can prolong everyone's misery for at least another day. I'll show another clue in a little while, shucks we might just stay up until midnight, really living on the edge down here, we are!

In the last clue, the white loop at top is not part of the painting, so it must be the lettering on the stamp.

Congratulations Kim,
You have solved the Mystery Stamp Quiz. I was beginning to wonder if anyone was ever going to get this one right. I see that you must have been working late into the night, or was it morning, just to solve this one. Such perseverance does have it's rewards though and I will contact you later about the prize. Now the birthday girl, Peaches, wants to go for her morning bike ride.
To everyone, coincidentally this stamp was the one shown for this set in Scott, which did not seem to make it any easier to solve.

When looking through the catalog for Niue Scott numbers 200-400 last night at 10:00, my bleary eyes went right over this stamp! Yikes. Were there any tricky verbal clues you gave that tied into this, like the capital OH or the golf reference, other than the obvious pointers like "island" or "discovery" or south of France?
Good job Kim!

It's time for another World Famous "MYSTERY STAMP QUIZ". Yes, it's been way too long since the last one, so let's get this year off to a good start. Teresa has given away her counterfeit stamp tonight, so what better time to have an MSQ.
For all of you newbies that are not familiar with the MSQ, this is what it's all about. I've selected a stamp from among the billions (yeah, right) that I have here in the stamp room, and it could be any stamp that was ever issued, anywhere in the world. I have made 10 different scans of small portions of that stamp and will be showing them at different parts of the day, or night, just to give folks on the other side of the world a fair chance. There may also be some silly little clues, to help you figure out just what the heck this stamp is,(yeah, right again) and where it might have been issued. The only rule is the winner will have to either identify the Scott catalog number or the year, date or something very significant about the stamp, to make it easily identifiable to the rest of the world and also the crotchety old judge, (that would be moi). To help make it even more interesting, the prize will be credit towards any of my future auction lots, since I don't have any live auctions at this moment, but will in the near future. You can guess all you want to and will probably receive a clue with the response to the guess, but then again maybe not. HA HA HA

Well done! I still don't see some of the 'clues' in the stamp. My brain was wired towards sports on this one and I guess I still can't break from it.

Congrats Kim - I've only won once and that was just a by accident that I happened to see one clue that matched a Japan stamp I had seen the day before while sorting.

Oh Mike - what are we going to do with you? Sheesh!
