The Best of Stamp News Publishing (SNP)

Greetings!

This month we continue our multi-month tour of Landlocked Colombian States by Geir Sør-Reime, this instalment being on Cundinamarca. 

For Fabulous Firsts, we bring together a number of studies, two from articles by B.W.H. Poole from the 1920s, which we published here in December 2014, and a World of Stamps (renamed here, Fabulous Firsts) by Geir Sør-Reime, from the July 5, 2024 Mekeel's & Stamps. I wouldn't usually bring back something that recent, but in this case I did so as a supplement to the 2014 piece that goes back more than a century! 

For Classic Great Britain, we add to our study by W. Ward, with some additional material by David Thompson—and unless additional material turns up in our archives, that concludes this 34-part series.  

Also completed is the tremendous study of the Saul Newbury Collection by Stanley Ashbrook–part two of the study we started last month. 

Of more recent vintage, in U.S. Stamp News we are gradually publishing a set of studies on the 1938 Prexie usages, as the author, Rich Pederson can provide them. Meanwhile, I am going back to previous articles in the series, this month covering the 10¢ issue, Sc. 815.

Finally, from our complete set of STAMPS Magazines going back to the first, Sept. 16, 1932, issue, we bring back a Siege of Paris article, supplemented by color images that were not included in the original article.

With that, we complete this November Stamp News Online.

As most likely the December SNO will be published in early December, I wish you all a very Happy Thanksgiving.

Enjoy!
