OMG OMG OMG - QUILT STAMPS!
Featuring blocks from one of Harriet Powers’ surviving quilts! They go on sale February 28th!
Going to be buying my Christmas card stamps early this year
Went through a big bag of stamps today. All are from Malaysia, and Malaya (which I still am not 100% sure are -now- independent countries) and Singapore (some of which occassionally say Malaysia Singapore on, and confuse me.)
Oh and Malta... so many Malta ones.
So many doubles but not a single full set >.<

Slowly rebuilding a healthier social media routine.
Mastodon seems like a good place for that so far.
Curious who else here is into stamps, aviation, or ships.
Especially the niche, detail-oriented side of those hobbies.

Hi everyone — new to Mastodon.
I’m into aviation (spotting, aircraft, airport life) and stamp collecting / philately.
Happy to be somewhere a little quieter and more topic-focused. #Aviation #PlaneSpotting #Philately #StampCollecting
One of (the four) #stamp albums I got from my grandma. She brought ages ago second-hand. It's got some cool penny reds that I need to research (same century as penny blacks, but not really worth anywhere near).
1980s stamp expo first issues. And first day issues of the QEII's mother's 80th birthday.
Also has a complete set of 1981 christmas stamps drawn by school kids... apart from that nothing much.
Dang thought I had all the regular sized machin #stamps from 1967-69 but I realised there is a 1'9 and a different colour 8d... who tf had an idea to just change the colour for no reason lol.
Luckily I have the rarer turquoise 8d stamp tho.... can't be that hard to find the common red one right??

But there was loads!!!
4 albums and a huge bag of stamps!!
One was started by my grandma and is dated by her in 1967 when she was 17.
