The choice of an Ottawa Stenographer
to pose for an ideal nurse for a Canadian stamp in 1958
had some nurses in Toronto annoyed. They claimed that
a nurse should have been chosen for the job........

  Granite Paper v Silk paper.         


Author: rodney
Date: May 31, 2008 04:54

Being pedantic Blair,
and quoting Samuel Grossman 1962
Granite paper (Silurian)
"is similar to silk paper, except that the coloured silky fibres
in the granite paper are too small to be distinguished as threads.
See Switzerland 1905 and after, also Austria 1890-1906.

Silk Paper
(much the same argument-rod, plus)
"observed on many old US revenues 1862-1881
see switzerland 1854-1862

"Blair (TC)"
> In some cases.it is called granite paper (eg Switzerland) while
> in others, it is called silk paper (eg US revenues).

Off the top of my head:

www.virtualstampclub.com
www.stamporama.com
chatboards.ebay.com
www.rfrajola.com
groups.msn.com
groups.yahoo.com

I'm sure there are many more that I've forgotten.

I frequent several of the Yahoo groups. That's enough
chat for me. If you consider joining any of the Yahoo
groups, note that the best ones are moderated ("Members
Only"). The others are spam magnets.

My two cents worth against moderation. I used to "belong" to a very
interesting alt.culture group which received its fair share of posts and
garbage. In 2005 the main university of the country decided...

The last assertion is either a lie or an insult, because it is very easy to
prove. When have you seen for the last time a baby here, John ? :-)

And because the Philatelic World Exhibition EFIRO 2008 approaches, here some
Romanian children paintings on stamps:

Gday, Joshua

You're not the only one to cross swords with Mr Stephens and I won't waste bandwidth digging up my conversation with him. We could certainly make
this board more high traffic if we could loosen up /...
