images from Umm Al Quiwain........
Those of us whom collect the rarities
don't get to see them often.
Now how about Sharjah, Oman, Fujeira, Khor Fakkan ?

I love this stamp with a surcharge. I enlarged it but it is a small stamp.  |

timbres667 - Thanks! Scanning my stamps and then studying them under magnification has greatly enhanced my pleasure in collecting them. There is so much about the world that we can learn from our stamps, if only we take the time to do the necessary research. The internet has been an inestimable boon for stamp collectors like me who want to understand the subject matters depicted on their stamps. Here is an image of a plate block of a stamp depicting a couple of rare Jamaican Kite Swallowtails ( Graphium marcellinus), printed by offset, and issued by Jamaica on August 25, 1975 as one of a set of four stamps (plus a souvenir sheet) depicting indigenous butterflies, Scott No. 398. - nethryk  |

timbres667 - Certainly. One of our hobby's best features is that there are virtually an infinite number of ways to pursue it. Each collector is free to follow his or her own aesthetic and intellectual interests. - nethryk Purple tiger moth ( Rhyparia purpurata), printed by photogravure, and issued by Hungary on November 11, 1974 as one of a set of seven Lepidoptera stamps, Scott No. 2313.  |
