Thanks for the great video! One slight correction if I may, Helvetia is the personification of Switzerland, and is the Latin name for the Confederation of Switzerland. Because Switzerland has four official languages, Latin is used to convey unity and to be "fair." Thanks again!
Did you notice that #98-100 and #101-03 do not have a country name on them. The first one that I got was in a glassine with no markings and I thought that it was a French label. It was not until a long time later when I found one in a dealer box that I realized what it was. The green and red Postage Due stamp that you pulled out is not a Postage Due but a Franchise Tax stamp. Look at "S" numbers in Scott. The 366 is a control number and you will find a notation and an illustration in Scott.

Thanks for the info! Never knew that nor did I come across it when doing my research!
Thank you

No I did not notice this, when I do these videos I am a little bit worrieds about making errors or dropping things so my attention is not always 100%
Nice start of collection. How you keep list/ catalog about stamps you have and not?
I don't... well to be honest I keep them in my head and do not collect all the countries you see, mainly GB, Canada, Australia, NZ and Latins.
Granite paper has small threads imbedded. You will see at least one thread but usually more
Well, now I know! I have seen such threads now and then and wondered, many thanks for the great information.
Me encantaría saber más."Recibí una pequeña cantidad de sellos, anterior a 1970. Muchos países
Muchos gracias!
