20th November (1937) Belgium, Scott #266, 5-centime orange definitive, depicting the national Coat of Arms issued in 1935, postmarked on this date in 1937 in the capital of Brussels, 80 years ago today. This example shows a very nice socked-on-the-nose clear strike cancellation. Personally, I would classify the color of this stamp as vermilion rather than orange, but the catalogue does note that the stamps of this series have multiple color varieties, so perhaps this is one of those.

I have been fascinated with this thread ever since I discovered it. The dedication of my fellow collectors is amazing. A couple of questions. In general, how much time do you spend looking for the dates? How do you store/ organize within your collection. Just curious.

In general, how much time do you spend looking for the dates? How do you store/ organize within your collection. Just curious. Thanks for your nice comments, David. I do not know how others do it, but here is what I do: as I sort through groups of stamps, normally by country in my case, I keep an eye out for date-legible postmarks. I put those in a separate pile, and I group them together and scan them. I save these scans of "postmark calendar mixes" on my computer. then I return the stamps back to the sorting and keep the ones I need and put the rest with my duplicates. Then, at a later time, when I am ready to do some computer work, I go back through the group scans and split them up into individual stamps by date. I keep postmark calendar files by month, and I typically check them most mornings to see if I have anything for that date. Sometimes I don't do it for a few days, but I always know that the date will come around again next year if I miss one. So, I do most of my sorting and organizing with the scanned images, not with the stamps themselves, as I do not collect them that way. |

I save these scans of "postmark calendar mixes" on my computer. then I return the stamps back to the sorting and keep the ones I need and put the rest with my duplicates. Now is that ever smart! I have a separate binder for postmarks with 6 vario pages (12 sides.) 1 side per month. As I sort stamps, any with date legible cancels go into the binder, sorted by the day. At the start of the month, I scan the whole page at the highest resolution I can, then break them into individual images and upload them all to Smugmug. That's where I have a folder for each month (similar to the folder on Beryllium Guy's PC.) But that only started when I joined TSF and wanted to participate in this thread. So, maybe a year at most. Until then I put nice postmarks at the bottom of my album page, or on a supplementary page in my album. Which I'm going to do in the future now that I know BG's method. That makes a lot more sense!

I scan (almost) every stamp that I add to my collection, saving the scans in their respective country folders. If a stamp has a legible postmark, I also save a copy of its file in one of the twelve "Month" sub-folders that I maintain in a "Postmark Calendar" folder. After posting the image on this thread, I delete the file so I don't end up posting the same material year after year. |

That's a refinement that I will start adding to my process, too, I think. |

I think I can do this for postmarks from the village I grew up in. David |

21st November (1908) East Africa and Uganda Protectorates, Scott #33, 6-cent carmine, King Edward VII definitive, postmarked on this date in 1908, probably in Nairobi, E.A.P. (East Africa Protectorate). These stamps were the first from this colony to be denominated in 100 cents to the rupee, replacing two previous issues depicting Edward VII which were denominated in 16 annas to the rupee. The stamps of East Africa and Uganda Protectorates were later succeeded by those of Kenya, Uganda, and Tanganyika.

It's the 21st of November in Arad, Israel. A long forgotten postal clerk cancels this wolfy stamp, but the envelope remains unmailed, instead being passed from collector to collector until the present day. Someday I will mail this one out, for the heck of it.  As for as keeping track of future entries: I leave myself reminders in Google Calendar, with the city name and URL of the scanned image. |
