Are the really "reprints"? by
A.E. Gelat
I do not feel comfortable with the word "replacement"; it does not convey
what is happening, but I do not have a good word for it. However, they
merit a catalog entry under New Printer. Who owns the plates? If the USPS
took custody of them, then they ARE reprints. If they have been...

Canada Postage to St. Pierre & Miquelon by
A.E. Gelat
I tried to find the postage rate for a letter from Canada to the French
islands of St. Pierre et Miquelon. The Canada Post website does not mention
these islands. All it shows is three different rates: $0.61 internal,
$0.89 to the USA and $1.49 to everywhere else. These islands are in

Inflation by
A.E. Gelat
Which country had the worst inflation, that is the highest multiplicand of
the basic unit in a short period. It could be Germany after WWI or Hungary
after WWII. Argentina had successive revaluations, a thousand at a time,
and cumulatively may get the prize. Gibbons often makes a note about...

Lebanese Aid Overprints by
A.E. Gelat
Rod, I posted a long reply to your question about the aid stamp, but I have
not seen it in the newsgroup. I have no idea what happened to it. My SENT
folder shows it as having been sent. I can resend it if it does not appear
in the next 12 hours.

Map of Denmark by
A.E. Gelat
Hi, Mette, I could not find a more detailed map on the Internet, but the one
below is very neat. It is a CIA map. If the link does not open directly,
you can copy it on a WORD document and then open it by holding Ctrl down and
clicking the link.

Strange Cancellation by
A.E. Gelat
I recently received an envelope with a non-profit-organization stamp, with
a half-inch long sticker pasted on it. Has anyone seen this before, and
why has it been applied in this case? The envelope can be seen in
alt.binaries.

SNA Fennecs by
A.E. Gelat
PBS (Public Broadcasting Service -- a television station, to those of you outside the USA) had an excellent program on the Sahara, last night, and it had marvelous shots of the fennec. I recommend seeing it if you can find it. I believe it was made by the National Geographic.
