What a great Cinderella stamp! It would have been great to be there, at the finishing line, for this event.  ------------- https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Discworld-Stamp-Collector/809424215750892" rel="nofollow - The Discworld Stamp Collector on FaceBook Have a look! |

I can't even look at a picture of a Zeppelin without thinking of the Hindenberg exploding. This event looks like an accident waiting to happen, there are far too many pointy bits  |

You comment reminds me of this Arrogant Worms song: http://arrogantworms1.bandcamp.com/track/history-is-made-by-stupid-people" rel="nofollow - History is made by stupid people This verse always makes me smile, although it probably really shouldn't: The Hindenburg was a giant zepplin Its makers made a minor oversight Before they filled it up with explosive gas They should have fixed the no-smoking light It a nice stamp too! |

Thanks for bidding Pat. I thought the buyers of the tete-beche pairs deserved something a bit different from the Black Cats on their envelopes. These are taken from another gummed paper test sheet and again will need a bit of development if they were to be turned into a proper issue. Seemed a pity to leave them sitting in a drawer  ------------- My Etsy shop - FarFetchedPhilately - Check regularly for updates and special offers... https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/FarFetchedPhilately . |

Don't be disheartened Steve. The Zeppelin labels were not intended to be collected. They are from a rather hastily produced single sheet of samples printed to test some gummed paper and not an 'issue'. They were only intended as a bonus with the tete-beche pairs. ------------- My Etsy shop - FarFetchedPhilately - Check regularly for updates and special offers... https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/FarFetchedPhilately . |
