This week I received the last couple of items to complete the first page for my airmail collection of Peru. As an added bonus, I got a second printing of Scott catalog #C1 and Specimen of Scott catalog #C2. Here's the final layout:

Austrian Newspaper stamps!
Thanks Terry!

P.S. I should note Philatelia is doing well and running a little eBay shop. She is a very kind person, and is missed on SoR by those who knew her when she was online.

I started working on material I acquired over the past six months. Life got busy and it is finally slowing down; my buying hasn't slowed. As I get time I will post in the appropriate threads.

After a long gap, I've added an item to my collection of engraved stamps. It's a nice used block of four of the 5 cent + 5 cent green Ludvig Forrer stamp from the 1945 Pro Juventute set of Switzerland. Engraved by Karl Bickel senior. I've got several of Bickel's stamps, but this one is a gem. Bickel designed and engraved stamps from the early 1930s till 1965. He died in 1982.

Absolutely nothing - I envy all of you;
Everything is in storage for yet another month, waiting for the remodeling work to get done.
Meanwhile, our house is sold and we have to be out in a week.

Added a large number of German Democratic Republic stamps to my International Part III, IV, and V albums and, drum roll please, managed to reach 50% completion level for the International Part V album. This album is part of my International 1840-1963 based collection to which I have been adding mint stamps beginning in 2017 following original purchase of a Minkus based collection which originally had a total of 12,000 stamps ranging from 1840-1980 in 2005 which I moved to International pages yielding 12,909 stamps in the new album pages on completion of the move on 5/19/2018 (including a very large number of acquisitions made during the move process, noted since there were several thousand stamps that stayed on the Minkus pages as there was no place for them on the International pages due to the mismatch of the date periods covered as well as the greater coverage provided by the original Minkus pages). I now have 43,635 of 85,703 spaces in the albums for 50.97% completion of the album set.
I now only need 647 more stamps for the Part III album in order to reach the 50% completion level for that last remaining album in the set which stubbornly remains below the 50% level which was my original expectation for a potential level of completion goal for the album set. Currently I am at 45.36% completion for that album. The most complete album is the Part IV album which currently stands at 56.77% complete.

Today I spent getting some of the Tangier airmail stamps (Spanish Offices) sorted, identified. Then I created some album pages and got them mounted. 'Sn' numbers are from the last whole Sanabria catalog (1966), and 'Mi' numbers are from the Michel catalog (Volume 5.4. North Afrika-2014). Really interesting stuff, and I enjoyed working with them! The International Zone of Tangiers consisted of an area around Tangier in Morocco that was serviced by the postal systems of Great Britain, France and Spain from 1939 to 1958.

I spent a lot of time sorting through Spanish era Philippines postal cards (tarjetas). These are all new to me so a learning experience.
Sometimes it is hard to tell the difference between yellow, aged yellow, and buff. There is a salmon color too but that is supposedly an organish pink color. There are 19 major varieties with paper and a few print differences as minor varieties.
This book was useful. Scott Classic 1840 to 1940 does not list these - at least the 2018 version I have. Edifil's listings are simplified.

I wanted to bump the thread that was started by Philatelia back in 2023. However, that thread had accumulated 175 posts and was loading rather slowly. There are a bunch of posts to that topic from March 2025, so I guess it is still a popular topic.
This week I received the last couple of items to complete the first page for my airmail collection of Peru. As an added bonus, I got a second printing of Scott catalog #C1 and Specimen of Scott catalog #C2. Here's the final layout:
