Hi, do you know where I can get one of those ceramic stamps?
ReplyDeleteSorry got these sets from a stamp dealer who visited the 2013 Bangkok World Stamp Exhibition and he had only one set for sale. So no help there..Still trying to find out more information of these on the net but no luck yet..
DeleteI see. Anyway thank for the information. By the way I have some stamp from you wish list, if you interested, send me email to remleb at mail dot ru and we'll talk.
DeleteHi : The set in your possession was not the only set produced. I have the whole set with me. There were quite a few available. Why you are contemplating any postal usage? when magnets at the backs clearly suggest that these can be mounted on metallic objects only. These should be taken as souvenirs only and not postal stamps; the only exception is the miniature sheet. I hope that helps.
ReplyDeleteOh, I forgot to commend you for starting such an informative blog, really it's a treasure for the collectors of unusual stamps. Stay blessed.
ReplyDeleteThank you Ali Mehmood for the enlightenment .. really had no idea they were magnetic souvenirs as the magnets used were low grade..finally can rest the matter once and for all..never contemplated mailing these souvenirs as had not even taken them out of the packaging...Also thanks for visiting this blog..really started it to write about 'my' collection of unusual stamps as it was really difficult to remember details and history about the stamps when showing them to my younger nephews/nieces and friends…am sure people are searching for details for some unusual stamps they come across .. glad it helps them..will continue adding to my collection of unusual stamps..rgds KC
