Why this blog?
- because the internet allowed me to get in touch with many collectors that I would never have known otherwise ... (Hope this continues)
- because I was able to find lots of information, documents or reproductions of stamps and letters, which do not exist elsewhere ..
- because stamp collecting is a great need to regain some momentum, especially among young people who have drifted away from it long, for the benefit of new entertainment and web ...
- because I hope to interest some collectors and have the pleasure to share with them some knowledge ...
- and especially because the famous Sower has so much charm to our view, it would be a shame to keep them hidden in the depths of our albums ...
An example for Lunch's:
-
Did you know that there is a line Sower, Sower and cameo? without any relation to trafficking or drug use ...
You've seen the one cameo (since 1907!) On the first page of the blog, and here now the one line (the ancestor of the other, in fact, since it exists since 1903!).
The difference is obvious: it is the bottom of the stamp, on which the sower cameo comes off much better than the sower line, why the change was made. You can imagine
certainly not the hard way that he had to go to get there: Two Seeders walking on a floor, and even a test with soil without soil, then two thin Seeders. Total: hundreds of tests and trials to achieve the desired result!
is the fabulous history of the early years of our dear Sower ...
