The Western Australian Long swan stamp was printed in 1904 by Waterlow and sons in England to a very high standard that far exceeds the standards of our modern stamps in this photo, this is humbling. The other thing about Western Australian stamps was they used the Black swan on many of their stamps from 1850 or so, this was very unusual in this time in history when most parts of Australia printed portraits of the British royal family on their stamps or scenes from national parks.

My old 'Paid' stamp. I've had this one for more than 20 years and I'm surprised that it still works well. It's a self-inking press stamp where the ink pad section is fixed within the stamp housing behind the die. When you press the stamp down, the 'pad' compresses down and ink seeps through the rubbery die to stamp out the word. It's tricky to add more ink to the felt pad and I'm sure you can imagine the mess that it makes of my fingers. It's a great stamp that sits in my desk drawer waiting to be used and it never fails me. I've not taken its photo before, so this is a first
This stamp is on one corner of my UK CAA pilot's License.
Without it, it is just a bit of paper, with it and I am allowed to make a wonderful moving hole in the sky.

This amazing woman in her sixties named Barbara Schwenk that I've been working with at the Greenhouse gave me these to give to Mauro when I go to Italy in September.
I told her he liked rubber stamps of American food which is true. I also told her he liked skulls and skeletons and she wants to give me some of those too, wants me to meet her at an outlet mall, says that's convenient for her.
This was after I knew she collected rubber stamps because she brought her scrapbook into work to show me the letters she had recieved from Bill Clinton and Mother Theresa and people who write romanticized novels about American Indians and she sends all these people rubber stamp decorated envelopes. And to people in the hospital and she sends money to a family living on a reservation in South Dakota and for thirty years she sent money to a black family in MIssissippi whom she's never met.
And the only reason she works at the greenhouse is make money to give away because her boyfriend, who's rich, thinks that her giving money away is silly.
I got mad and said, Barbara, you've got to make that man buy you a plane ticket to Mississippi so that you can go meet this family you helped.
I took delivery of a vintage Helios 44M 4 yesterday shipped all the way from Russia. International post looks like it needs 46 stamps to get this far, the box was absolutely covered!
This is one of the test shots from the lens, flipped and repeated it and gave it a colour boost for you pr Sliders Sunday perusal!

The Stamp Bear was created by Macon artist Heatherly Wakefield (formerly Darnell), with the help of her then husband-to-be Eric Wakefield. Painted to look as if the bear had been covered in postage stamps, the Stamp Bear is fittingly located across the street from the U.S. Post Office. Each of the stamps which cover the bear feature local historical figures, cultural icons, arts and community organizations, conceived as though Macon and Bibb County had issued stamps featuring many of its local treasures. While the beauty of the bear is undeniable, it also serves as a fun way for parents to teach their children about the community in which they live and a great way for tourists to learn about the rich history of Macon.

Earlier in 2022, Canada Post issued this fundraising stamp. People donate $1 to the price of a 10-stamp book, and the money goes to the Canada-Ukraine Foundation for humanitarian relief in Ukraine.
A bit of bookworm trivia:
Libraries in Russia put the library #stamp on the inside cover of their books, and on page 17.
This book - "How the Steel Was Tempered" by Nikolai Ostrovsky - was borrowed from Library No 32 in Moscow.

One of my daughters stamps from her stamp set. My wife and i routinely find 'stamps' on all manner of things, as evidenced by the hair on the stamp, which I only saw during post-processing.
Taken with a Raynox Macro converter. Very slight crop at the bottom to remove some of the foreground white.
the bird stamp i traced from a wonderful doorbell plate from flopping fish. the bird on the bottom right is the first trial stamping; you can see that i hadn't carved out the legs yet. the last trial stamping is the bird on top. i really love this stamp and used it right away to decorate the front of a postcard to a friend.

Nude Descending a Staircase No 2. I have several stamps so it was challenging choosing one for today. This stamp was inspired by photography and is an important art work. Hope you enjoy it!

It's so long since I saw one of these I had forgotten about them. Now I remember it was quite a pleasing experience to use one - the sound of the strip of stamps being fed out of the slot when you lifted the flap marked 'LIFT", and the crisp way your purchased stamps would tear off at the perforations. Quite often, the effectiveness of the perforations was deficient, and you would lose a corner of your last stamp to the benefit of the next purchaser. These machines were very convenient, being available when post offices were closed, and with the cost of stamps being around a half penny to tuppence they could be bought with the available coinage. Now, a stamp will cost you 64p (eqivalent to 153 old pennies btw) so you can see why stamp machines died out.
