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 became a charged symbol of the modern in America
J'ai commandé lors de mon premier voyage en Chine un tampon spécial gravé de mon nom chinois que je n'ai pas eu beaucoup l'occasion d'utiliser. Heureusement que j'ai parfois l'occasion de le ressortir pour le prendre en photo. #Macro #MacroMondays #Stamp
The first U.S. self-adhesive stamp was the 10¢ Dove Weather Vane Christmas issue of 1974. Those experimental stamps were expensive to create and the adhesive didn't work as planned.
Fifteen years passed before the Postal Service tried again, with a 25¢ Eagle and Shield self-adhesive stamp sold in panes and strips of 18 for $5.
The expense of manufacturing self-adhesives versus lick-and-stick stamps has flip-flopped in the intervening years. The Postal Service claims that the base cost of printing stamps with moisture-activated adhesive is now 115 percent greater than self-adhesives.
That means the cost of creating a lick-and-stick stamp is more than double that of a self-adhesive.

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.

Trabajando en nuevos sellos, para la presentación de mi libro en Zaragoza. Mañana 2 de Mayo. Os espero! :)
Taken at Minions high up on Bodmin Moor there are extensive mining remains throughout the area here . This one I am sure is the engine house to drive the stamps of Wheal Jenkin along with the stack of where the boiler house would have been .
Established (as a tin mining site worked by shallow shafts and an adit) when it was taken up in 1824, and worked by the Cornwall Great United Mining Association (London) between 1836-7.
A steam engine was erected at Wheal Jenkin in October 1836 to work 40 head of stamps, and 21 heads of new water-stamps were also under construction to handle the ore from the Cornwall Great United Mines.
In the 1870s Wheal Jenkin it was acquired by the Marke Valley adventurers of the adjoining Marke Valley Mine. In 1881, the mine was re-opened as part of Marke Valley Consols Mines Ltd. Working for tin, the former Whim shaft was re-opened as Bellingham's shaft, and, in 1886, the Holman's shaft (South Caradon) 70" engine was re-erected in a new engine house.
The mine closed in 1890 and there are no records of any attempt to re-prospect the lodes during the early years of the 20th Century. The Liskeard and Caradon Railway passes through the site.
This one really looks better in large view. The reduction process messed with the edges a lot.
Started in 1927, this stamp collection is now in the fourth generation of my family. I was going through some of the boxes of loose stamps (boxes meaning golf ball boxes, converted to stamp boxes) on the kitchen table this morning and was struck by how pretty a collage they make in the morning sun.
starting off the season finally, more finished flicks later on www.etipsone.blogspot.com. shouts to swervone.
