T360 what beautiful centering on your copy ! I won mine at auction about 20 some years ago...it was 17.00 and the perfs cut into the frame on one side...you can probably get a copy like mine today for less than I paid !! |

Thanks philb! This is a tough issue to find well centered. I looked long and hard to find this one. I bought it for the centering even though I already owned a pretty good copy!
It has an Ironton, Ohio cancel. Ironton is a city located on the banks of the Ohio river.
I sure would like to get a nice cover to a overseas destination with a 10c Louisiana on it! |

That is a a very nice piece t360! I know you appreciate that particular piece even more since you had to search for it longer and harder. |

I finally found a stamp with a map on it, Philb! I found it while sorting some of the beautiful German stamps that LaSwabbie sent me-thanks LaSwabbie! Gussyboy1 Image Insert: |

Nice stamp, gussyboy1! Neat cancellation, showing that it was mailed by a Hamburger. |

Here's a pretty stamp from Colombia with an interesting map on it. I couldn't find it anywhere on freestampcatalogue.com, so if anyone has any info about it, I'd appreciate it.  |

And here's a stamp from Cuba celebrating it's stamp centenary in 1940. The map portion may be just a simple outline of the country, but overall, I think this stamp may win the prize for most cluttered stamp of all time. (Hmm, I see a potential contest there.)  |
