ISSUE 170 - February 7, 2025 - Stamp News Online Magazine
The Best of Stamp News Publishing (SNP)
Greetings!
This month we have a balanced, presentation of subject matter, as well as a mix of text and illustrations, including articles by experts of the past supplemented by new illustrations.
For Landlocked Countries, we embark on a series on Czechoslovakia and Related, by Geir Sør-Reime. The title of the article itself is a commentary on that complicated area.
For Fabulous Firsts we continue our German States study, with Hamburg, text by B.W.H. Poole, supplemented by a range of illustrations. Also supported by some new illustrations is the next instalment in our Victorian Canada series, this one on the 1859 Pence Issue.
One quick U.S. piece is a Sloane's Column selection on San Francisco Bicycle Mail.
A bit longer is a nice overview of United States Postal Stationery, replete with many illustrations, by Bill Lehr.
Finally, we bring you the complete study of the Fourth Bureau Issue, by Steve Turechek.
Enjoy!
John F. Dunn, Publisher
