Postage Stamp Stories - The K2 Stamp That Wasn't
Переглядів 700Місяць тому
In 1954, the first ascent to the summit of "The Savage Mountain" was accomplished. But it was not without controversy, and amidst the hubbub, Italy's postal service decided not to issue a postage stamp to note the event which had already been designed, and plates prepared.

    Ted, I also use fountain pens. I have a collection of 173 so far dating from the 1920s to the present. I have a few Preppys, they are great pens. I re-use the cartridges and refill them using a blunt syringe with the ink colour I feel like using at the time. I also use Clairefontaine paper but I use the whit one and copy a grid pattern on to it.

    • @tedtalksstamps
      @tedtalksstamps 8 днів тому

      That’s impressive. While I have developed a great interest in them, I haven’t developed (yet 😄) an urge to collect them. I’ve been watching a lot of YT videos (Fountain Pen Therapy, Doodlebud, Inkquiring Minds, sbrebrown, among others) trying to decide on one pen to have and to hold, forsaking all others, and staying within a double-digit price. If you have any recommendations, I’m all 👂 👂.

    • @danielste-marie779
      @danielste-marie779 8 днів тому

      Ted, in many ways the possibilities are endless. I would recommend you see if there is a brick and morter penshop you could visit. JG Reviews is an other youtube channel. Pilot, Platinum, Lamy, Jinhao and Wing Sung are great pens and very affordable. Visiting a store will give you a chance to try different nib sizes which run from XF, F,M,Broad, Double Broad, 1.1, 1.3, 1.5 and 1.9 plus other types. The thing to remember is that Japanase pen nib sizes are smaller than wester. Ex: Japanese Fine is more like a western XF etc. I use a Western fine when writing on non-fountain pen paper and for most fountain friendly paper I will use either a Medium or a broad. The exception is When I label my stamp pages I will use a 1.9mm for the header and a 1.1 for the text. Once you get into it more you will see that there about 2000 different types and colours of ink. A great advantage of using a fountain is that there is much less strain place on our hands and wrists as one only needs a slight pressure on the nib to write. Especially if one has arthritis. Ebay, Etsy and Amazon have tons of pens. Good luck and let me know how you make out. An other youtuber is ODE who is Portugal.

    Ted, I appreciate your efforts, but you don't know what you don't know. Barwis article on Banknote papers you discuss in this video has been completely debunked. Just look at all his photo's of the 3-cts re-engraved of 1882. Note the paper is bright white, brighter than any of the other stamps. Why is that? Well, because they've been artifically bleached, thats why. Barwis claims its due to a new paper finishing process, which is bunk. Ted, you will find the Scott 2025 Specialized US catalog changes the 1878 Banknote paper designation from "soft porous paper" to "porous linen paper." This is due to my recent article in the 2023 Congress book, "Papers of the US Banknote Era, 1870-1889." For the reasons given, I recommend you edit the Barwis article out of the discussion in this video, and also delete its link on your forum. Cordially, AJ Valente

    How about the APS section of HipStamp???

    • @tedtalksstamps
      @tedtalksstamps Місяць тому

      Ordering from the APS store is good. As it's an agglomeration of many different sellers' inventories, they have the broadest selection of stamps even though they rank 5th largest in total inventory. You also have the benefit of shopping from multiple dealers while paying only one shipping fee (although shipping is higher than most dealers). Quality of listings, though, varies widely among the APS dealers, especially in the quality of the images provided. I've also found that, particularly on better quality items, they often have the most reasonable prices.
