Sunday Stamps - November 17, 2024
Sunday Stamps brings us Headshots this week.
Canal Zone 1916
This is Jackson Smith who was Canal Canal Commissioner. He oversaw the Bureau of Labor, Quarters, and Subsistence, which dealt with the workers on the Panama canal project. The Canal Zone was under US control between 1903 to 1979, which was a ten mile strip of land on either side of the Panama canal.
USA 1964 JFK Memorial First Day of Issue, including a excerpt of his inaugural address, January 20, 1961.
Portugal 1953 with Guilherme Gomes Fernandes, a humanitarian, firefighter, and journalist (among other things).
Mexico c1951
I couldn't resist the giant Olmec head! In one of the good (read that as older) The Simpsons episodes Mr. Burns gifts Bart "A frabulous, grabulous, zip-zoop-zabulous present" of an Olmec head! (Second season, Blood Feud)
...I like the prices of these stamps!
ReplyDeleteI never know how much ours are anymore, since all they say are "forever." I don't use many, mostly at Christmas, and even then not many. I do buy postcard stamps.
