And some more. SPM has a reputation for pricy modern stamps that was established during the 1960s. None of these are too terribly valuable, but they are all worth more than you'd care to lose through a hole in your pocket. Again, Scott numbers throughout. ![](https://i.ibb.co/Rgnp8ks/20240701-154008.jpg) SPM sc 375, TV Station, 1967. ![](https://i.ibb.co/JdtmBpg/20240701-154048.jpg) SPM sc 376, St. Pierre New Harbor, 1967. ![](https://i.ibb.co/ZBrPJhV/20240701-154135.jpg) SPM sc 382, Human Rights Year common design, 1967.

also looks like on the C18 - UPU ........ the cross bar on the lower case f differs ......... on the top stamp it extends both sides, on the lower stamp it's on one side only - of course it could be that I need Specsavers.

Hello, Paul. I think that is just a trick of the internet. I have examined both stamps and the cross bars are more pronounced and more even than on the photo. However, tiny differences between cliches on these plates are fairly common. Details of the Chambon press the French used are best left to others, but using it was a very labor intensive endeavor. Corrections to individual dies were frequently made during a print run.

anglobob - nice cover. Art deco was still in the ascendency in '37 - it's a style that pleases me no end, and typified by a form of stylization that the French excelled at.
