A while ago, I got this sheet of Staffa bird stamps. I don't have much info on them other than the date of 1978 on the cancel marks.  |

I picked up a set of twelve FDC's of the Bicycle series of 1978. Here is just one of them. The stamps don't seem to match the cachet. The values range from 2p up to 1 pound.

Perhaps the Cover is a National printing, looks excellent quality, with a Staffa Local used aboard ? (6p 1960 ten Speed )

By pure dumb luck I have never run into these "stamps" nor had I heard of a place called Staffa. It is amazing that one company or person produced so many colorful piece of paper and then charged money for them!! Wow this is not good for the hobby that is for sure. I missed that bullet and happy I did.
