1954 (5715) 'Tower of David' issue from the New York Office. Another of the High Holidays issues. The stamps show the Tower of David above a Book of Life with Hebrew and English inscriptions. Perf 12½. The Booklet Pane shown here has no value. Values of 10c, 25c, 50c and $1 exist as well as a handstamped '25c' on the No Value stamp.

A London icon. Attractive and very special (to me). Tower Bridge as depicted by the Gravure Institute, Paris.

As we are approaching the end of the celebration of Passover, what better sheet to show than this 2010 'Parting of the Red Sea' Miniature Sheet. Issued for the National Exhibition held in Jerusalem, the sheet was printed Imperf in limited numbers for insertion into the show catalogue.

What better way to advertise than to produce your own chocolate wrapper !!!! Gibbons produced these sweet treats as part of the freebie bag for visitors to the main Exhibition at 'London 2010, A Festival of Stamps'. Each visitor was given a 'goody' bag upon entry which included mostly auction and price lists but also the odd....er......goody !! The chocolate bars were also offered at various points around the Horticultural Hall during the 'Philatex' bourse. The idea was repeated on another occasion some years later for the Annual Stampex show. The wrapper on that occasion was advertising Stampex and the chocky wrapper was white. I have one but cannot put my sticky fingers on it !

2013 issue 'Postal Vehicles in Israel' showing some of the older types. Good looking sheet, this Imperf version was inserted into the catalogue for the National Stamp Exhibition held at the Exhibition Centre in Tel Aviv. It was the only source. (and expensive !!)

Two Souvenir sheets produced in limited numbers by the Israel Philatelic Federation in 1987 to mark the 1st Convention of Israel Philatelists. The first sheet shows colour reproductions of the 1952 Menorah & 12 Tribes stamp while the 2nd sheet shows reproductions of the 1949 Flag stamp, issued for the 1st Anniversary of the State. Both were printed in limited editions of 550.

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.
