8. Unboxing stamps, part 2.

The second part of my bulk stamps unboxing. Plenty of interesting stamps and other items. This is the remaining album not covered previously. There's plenty of stamps, but also booklets, cinderellas, and other odd items.

the russian stamp is a dual purpose item, it servers as a stamp but also as emergency money, it's from ca 1917, copper were scare, so stamps could be used as money.

That's interesting. Thanks for that info.

What an eclectic mix! My brain felt like a philatelic pinball machine, just trying to remember what I knew about all these...but brain exercise is awesome. I have quite an assortment of philatelic items from all over that don't fit into my Scott catalogs. I have just been putting them in the margins with lightly penciled notes about what I discovered. SO interesting! Thanks for a fun video, and I look forward to more:)

Glad you enjoyed it!

Nice video. Quite a variety of issues in that stockbook. On the Chinese stamps, what looks similar to an inverted letter V denotes a People's Republic of China. The flower on so many of the earler Japanese stamps is a chrysanthemum. (not sure of my spelling). Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the info, I was not aware of that. Glad you enjoyed it.

That stock book held a large variety of stamps of all sorts. I particularly liked the island stamps. New Zealand does not issue Health stamps anymore. I think they were only issued until about 2016. There are not generally religious paintings on the NZ Christmas stamps anymore, at least not the newest stamps I have seen. Thank you for showing and discussing the stamps. It was an enjoyable video!

[@TheStampBox]

Thanks for your comments. I'm glad you liked it. Interesting about the Christmas stamps, I had not been sure about that.

[@StampsDEI]

quite a variety. Always nice to go trough this kind of eclectic collections !

[@TheStampBox]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it. This is becoming my "hobby within a hobby". More on the way.

Good afternoon, I watched an interesting video about items that were sometimes found with postage stamps. The video was very interesting and I watched it with great interest. One of the stamps that was mentioned in the video was the Cyrillic 5.23 stamp. This stamp was used as a money stamp, which means that it could be used to buy goods and pay for things. In other words, it was equivalent to a coin and could be used as a form of payment. The video explained that this stamp was in circulation on par with a silver coin, meaning that it had the same value as a silver coin when it came to paying for goods and services.

[@TheStampBox]

Thank you for that information. I had not guessed that was the answer. This is what I like about the internet, it's a great way to share knowledge.
