ISSUE 178 - October 3, 2025 - Stamp News Online Magazine
The Best of Stamp News Publishing (SNP)
Greetings!
Once again, we are pleased to bring you a nice combination of the old from our archives, supplemented by new images and information.
The totally new is Part 3–the completion–of Geir Sør-Reime’s study of Landlocked Ethiopia.
From our archives, we combine the old–another German States Fabulous First–this one on Saxony, from a larger study by B. W. H. Poole’s with the new–images that were not part of that original booklet that was published by Mekeel’s around 1916.
In similar fashion, we combined articles from the 1940s (Victorian Canada), the 1920s (Classic Canada) from our archives, with new images found in web searches of past auctions.
For U.S. we have a long article on U.S. Stamp Designs suggested by leading designers, followed by a one-day nugget from a 100-year old Mekeel’s.
Enjoy!
John F. Dunn, Publisher
