For Macro Monday - Stamp

With very little mail coming these days and even fewer items that have stamps on them I had to trawl through my physical files to find an envelope with a stamp, and that had a franking stamp on it. This one was from three years ago.

Happy Macro Monday!

Hi there,

Don't you just hate it when you have a stack of envelopes to mail and there's only one stamp left? HMM!

Thanks a million for stopping by and for leaving a comment. Have a great week!

Some years ago, life was really challenging and I decided to get this stamp to sort out things that I considered bullshit. I needed that... I really never got to use it but it helped me thinking that I had a tool to discriminate between what is important and what is just bullshit... do you follow?

I did start to pick out the letters for 'Macro Mondays' as you can see. BUT Way, way to fiddly for me!!!! 😁.

Thanks for visiting.

Macro Mondays

I can remember when, as a kid, I used to put postcards or postal enveloppes on top of a pan full of boiling water, so that I could detach the stamps without damaging them and collect them neatly in albums...

My collection is long gone (I've sold it for a ridiculously low price at a flea market in my teens), but I'm sometimes tempted again to put aside a few nice stamps. Maybe out of nostalgy.

For preparing this shot, I've started the process with a water boiler beforehand. Then for taking the picture I've been using the steam from an air humidifier, placed under the stamps.

This is one of the few shots with roughly the right amount of steam-induced blurriness but still enough crispness in the subject. 😊

These stamps were used in my father -in-law's jewelry factory. The 800 was used to stamp silver jewelry, and the GAM

Trademark designates jewelry made of gold alloy less that 375°°. The width of the "800" is about 2mm.

The stamps themselves have a hook shape to allow stamping on the inside of finished rings.

I had bought these little tags and letter stamps a while ago from Dollarama and figured they would someday come in handy for a photo op. I am not a crafty person and my OCD is getting to me that the stamped words aren't spaced right; on the otherhand, I don't mind how it looks because it wasn't made in a factory by a machine...lol

Thank you very much for your views and kind comments. HMM!

Love those forever postal stamps, the price you pay is good forever and with stamps going up it is nice to have a few hundred laying around.

Thanks to Macro Mondays I found out why Italian vinyl ist always stamped: it's the SIAE stamp - Società Italiana Autori Editori, the Italian association of authors and publishers.
