150th Anniversary of the Birth of Winston Churchill Isle of Man – 2024 The Isle
of Man (IOM) sheetlet to be
issued November 30, 2024 commemorating the 150th Anniversary of the Birth
of Winston Churchill show different approaches to SoS
design, as none are like the "traditional" layouts we expect
to see. The
publicity release calls them "reprints", but that is
a rather loose description. Isle of Man: #863b (2000), #51 (1974), #50
(1974), #???? (2024) Isle of Man: #432-5 Issued: 1990 The first
and second strips of stamps on the sheetlet
are IOM stamps modified with new higher values and the bottom
strip shows IOM stamps exactly as issued, but all are set in perfed frames with backgrounds of partial enlargements of
the original stamps. Isle of Man: #1690, #1692, #1964, #1697
Issued: 2015 A
previous issue with a similar design approach is Jamaica #508-11 from 1981. Jamaica: #508-11, Issued: 16.10.1981 Stamp on stamp
does not quite fit the description of these issues, so perhaps we should
come up with a name for them. Any
suggestions? Happy

Stamps on stamps The topic
of stamps on stamps is one of the most diverse of all topicals. Ever since
Sir Rowland Hill first advocated the use of prepaid pieces of paper to be
adhered to letters to expedite their delivery, the postage stamp has
fascinated people. It should come as no surprise, then, that the postage
stamp is being used as a stamp motif, and that topical collecting of stamps
on stamps is popular. The topic of stamps on stamps is an interesting one in
that it covers many different areas and avenues while still being true to the
stamp topic. The official bulletin of the Club is SOS SIGNAL, but it is not being published at the moment due to the absence of an editor (Are you interested in taking up the role?). Meanwhile, you can access past bulletins on SOS Signal. Additionally, some members, particularly our President, send out occasional brief articles of SOS relevance to members via email. Examples of these articles can be found in the "Articles of Interest" and "The First Page" sections. New SOS issues are listed in the "Gallery of New Issues".
