Hello all. Just recently started collecting US covers and have been looking for knowledge and information. It's amazing how nuanced stamp collecting is. There's so much to discover. I enjoy searching for and finding new and unique items. I'm not sure I can hit 50 posts, but if I do most of them will begin with: HELP! I found this recently in a box of covers I purchased on line. A little stamp collecting poem:  |

Welcome to TSF Harry ( harryc). Hope you will enjoy your time and have fun. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. Nice Poem. According to the Falmouth Public Library in Massachusetts, Silas Weatherby was "a presumed collector and actual editor and publisher of the journal Phizzleatic Phizzle (1918-1922) ". The journal is a bit of a mystery !! But possibly from a Boy's story book. Great stuff and a very nice find. Londonbus1 |
