hdm1950....The glassines are great, memories of a time past. it wasn't so long ago that I was a collector of Glassine envelopes with dealer notation or other advertising. Still got them, some have stamps. Nice to see. Not much with stamps the last couple of days as I try to arrange my UK trip and get ready for Passover tonight and all week. The cooking went well and the table is full of it waiting to load in the car !! Some good news is that mail from the UK is getting through here with the experimental sending of an eBay item. It arrived !! The seller is well pleased. Been trying fit in a stamp event or two during July in the UK but it seems York might just be out of reach. With not much in the way of stamp fairs around in our vicinity, it means the Glasgow Stamp Shop will be the only Philatelic offering ! But I heard it's a good shop and made the news recently. I don't know of any other stamp shops in Scotland or Buckinghamshire........just loads of antique and 2nd hand shops ! Still searching....... Londonbus1

Britain's Royal Mail have mini card 'posters' produced for new issues for display in Post Offices and events. When they started and finished this practice I have yet to ascertain. I have a large group but will show just this one.

Israel Post re-issued the Albert Einstein stamp from 2005 in a Miniature Sheet for 'Jerusalem 2006' the National Stamp Exhibition. The only change was the value from NIS3.30 to NIS8.20 although there was a mark-up for the sheet, as is usual for Israel S/S's to NIS12.00 !!

Back in 1992 there was a very nice set of Birds Definitive stamps which were issued in sheets. For the 'China 96' Philatelic Exhibition, Israel produced a very elegant Souvenir Sheet with those same Birds stamps but with Silver borders instead of white, and with different values. The effect is just beautiful.

I thought it might be worth showing this if only to compare with similar items from your own country or others you have seen. This is from the Israel Philatelic Service to a customer, most likely a folder of all the new issues for the month/period from the look of the envelope size. It has a Tel Aviv-Yafo (Jaffa) PPI. I normally don't save these but if you look to the left side you will see what looks like a sticker both top and bottom. These are pre-cut lengths of tape especially inscribed 'Telafila '93' and wrapped around the envelope for security. 'Telefila '93' was the first Stamp Exhibition I attended after making the move to Israel. Sometimes we put the strangest keepsakes in our albums !!

Winnie the Pooh Stamp Sheet. A 2011 Stamp sheet with the Heart Definitive and various types of labels showing Pooh characters. But there is one notable exception.

Another example of an Emergency Post to go with the Rishon-Le-Zion armoured car type shown before. Nahariya in Northern Israel was cut off from areas to the South during the War of Independence (1948). So local stamps were produced in a hurry and mail was sent by sea to Haifa, mostly at night. Most used on mail carry a 'Sea Mail' cancel. A good number of sheets have some interesting varieties but they are out of my price range, sadly.

Advertising bags and cards, these for Britain's 'Stampex' events, the National show. The bags, sometimes printed in various sizes were given to each of the dealers' stands by the organizing committee. The cards, advertising upcoming events, were left at the entrance and other relevant points around the venue.

I just came across some images from the time I was preparing to sell my Palestine collection. I wonder sometimes why I did it. But I never give myself an answer. Oh well. No used crying over spilt milk......so they say. Oops ! OK, for old times sake, here are a few probably seen already but it is a memory....for me at least. I wonder where they are now.......

Here's an advertisement from a (reproduction) copy of the October 1934 Stamp Magazine showing a full page of what Selfridges Stamp department in London had to offer. Those offers include a full set of Canada Jubilees and the dollar values of the USA Columbus series ! Oh to go back to those days !!

Israel is well known for producing Tete-Beche examples of their issues, especially so of the earlier and definitive types. Most were printed that way for ease of cutting into booklet panes. But many sheets or large blocks reach the open market. Less often seen are Tete-Beche examples of ATM's or Computer-Vended labels. The one below was on offer from Israel Post to visitors at 'Jerusalem 2010', a Bi-National Stamp Exhibition held in the Capital. The Labels show the value for the regular letter postage rate at the time and the sheet cost NIS17 with no mark-up. The Tete--Beche Self-Adhesive sheet shows scenes of Jerusalem in the central gutter including the Western Wall and Absalom's Pillar. Note the positions of the cancellations on each strip !!!

darrenk.......1878 issue De La Rue. Watermark garter. Cat Value in 2008 £3.50 so not much more today at a guess. But that's for a used copy so if your mint has full gum then worth a little more.

I've had a bit of time for stamps the last few days as the dreaded 'Long Covid' has come back to haunt me again ! Suffering my 5th bout of Flu this winter.......except it's spring now so really not fair. It has meant a bit less babysitting and the way I feel all I want to do is sit and drink tea and water. Energy levels are almost zero !! But playing with stamps has helped relieve the pain and discomfort. My armoured car stamps arrived in two days from Tel Aviv, something of a record. Still no news from the other lots missing since October 7th. Looking forward to another sleepless night and a few more hours sorting stamp mess. Wonderful. Londonbus1

Special JNF receipts were produced both in Palestine/Israel and abroad for contributions made to certain projects. They are hard to find, some are hugely attractive and are sought after as a sideline to the Stamps and tags. The one below is from the United States for a $5 contribution towards land redemption and purchase. It was issued in 1947. There are other valued receipts in this series.
