I would like to buy price catalogues for US and World stamps possibly 2020 and before.

The April 21,2021 US Stamp Study Group Meeting is cancelled due to the most recent shutdown to cope with Covid-19.
I am pleased to announce that Geoffrey Hodgetts has joined our group. This is the last member to join our group based on the space available and Covid 19 health protocols.
We will be studying the 1940 era at our May meeting (hopefully)!
Enjoy your hobby.
It is getting warmer so we can go outside again, wonderful to see spring finally here.

Below some postings there is an 'email' icon, and a 'PM' icon, by which someone reading the posting can reply directly to the poster by either email or 'private message' without a new posting appearing in the thread. Without these options, the only way to get in touch with a poster is to reply to the post and add another message to the thread. So, 1) how does one get these option to appear below a posting, and 2) how do they work? They must both send out an email message of some kind? To which address?

I've just tried to attach a pdf file to a posting, but I received the warning that 'this file type is not allowed'. Is there a way to do this which is not obvious?

    I found these Royal Wedding omnibus stamps that has "specimen" overprinted. Anyone know why this was done? Seems to be just on a few countries.

Our next meeting will be at Ellena's Cafe in Napanee (16 Dundas St E., second floor) on Wednesday 7 April 2021, from 1:00pm. Up for discussion this day will be our final examination of the 6c orange transportation definitive released in 1968, perf 10. An attached pdf file provides some of the key points surrounding this issue.

At the next session (May ?) we hope to begin discussing the 6c orange perf 12.5 x 12 that is believed to have appeared some time in March, 1969 [do you know of an early date?]. Later meetings will cover the various booklet issues, both perforations, and the coil, perf 9.5 horizontally. 

Come join us.....

We meet again at Ellena's Cafe in Napanee for a review of the 1930 decade of stamp issues. We will look at: the 1929 Kansas and Nebraska Overprints were created to stop theft of stamps. Back then stamps were legal tender, bandits stole $200,000 in stamps valued at $7million today. These stamps were taken over state lines and sold! 2) The 1932 Washington Bicentennials, a set that I personally enjoy very much. Beautiful engravings all. 3) The 1933 Century of Progress Chicago's World Fair, and all its new inventions. A Zeppelin also flew / floated over the fair grounds ! 4) The 1934 National Parks and Farley's Follies. 5) The 1939 Worlds Fair, a major attraction was the first tv's was introduced by RCA (Radio Company of America)! 6) BEP Engraver Clair Aubrey Huston. 
We will also be sorting the Washington Franklin Issues from our binders we reviewed in our last meeting.
Trading Time is next.
We have the room all afternoon, so after this is over we can continue to stay and chat!

I would be interested in any covers you might have that show postmarks used in Kingston during any period prior to about 1970. Prior to about 1902, I'm prepared to consider individual or multiples of stamps with clear, dated cancel impressions - squared circles, broken circles, targets, and so on. Thanks! Bruce Murduck.

I have for sale two Lighthouse 3 Ring Binders 2 inch with slipcase. One is blue and the other is burgandy. Both are brand new.
Great for storing larger items or any philatelic material. Rings are D ring layout so material lays flat.
Retail Price is $35 and selling for $20 each.

Will deliver to Kingston at time and place suitable.
