Lou Guadagno 1967 was
the year I started collecting Stamps on Stamps, and I bought a
set of the three Malaysia Centenary stamps from the Minkus
shop in Gimbel's Department Store as soon as they were available. I lreally liked the colorful, odd-shaped stamps
with their "then and now" SoS. Some
weeks later, I was visiting another dealer's shop in Manhattan, and
he mentioned he had just gotten his supply of the issue. Before I
could say I already had it, he pulled out his half-sheets, and I was
delighted to see that they showed the stamps were printed
tete-beche, which I had not been aware of before.
He said to buy pairs, but I went with upper left corner blocks of four which showed the unusual layout much better than
two. Years
later, I started to acquire the reproduced stamps to add to my
collection, and sought out the 1867 Straits Settlements and Malaysia 1965
bird stamps. It took almost a year, with buys from three sources. I found
out that first day covers were created in most of the major cities of Malaysia and now have seven different such
cancels-- I'm showing three. I like to
add a piece or two of commercial mail with SoS to
my collections when I can find them, and especially if they show
foreign destinations, so I was happy to add the two in my last scan. This issue
was one of my earliest SoS acquisitions, but its
pages are an example of the growth of my collection thru the years. I
hope you enjoyed seeing them, and it gave you some impetus to
expand your own collection. Stay
well, Lou Guadagno |
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. Michael
