Knihtisk - The Typographic Stamps of CSR
The original Knihtisk website, by Dr. Mark Wilson, has been replaced by a newer and better version! - http://www.knihtisk.org/ The entire site has been reorganized into sections dealing with each of the issues. Also, because many visitors complained about the size of the images in the old site, every image in the new site -- more than 7,000 of them -- has been individually massaged into a consistent size and lighter weight. By the way, there are 11,281 files on the site of which 7994 are pictures. Of the 11, 281 files, only 800 are slow (take more than 30 sec to load on a slow connection), 62,596 hyperlinks on the site, all but 25 are internal! This site has nice and clean design and looks great! Please have a look, its an incredible source of information, scans, all about "The Typographic Stamps of CSR"! Good luck Mark!

meetings the Dutch "Vereniging voor Tsjechoslowakije-Filatelie" As indicated in earlier messages and at our meetings the Dutch "Vereniging voor Tsjechoslowakije-Filatelie" has the plan to participate in the yearly exhibition POSTEX in Apeldoorn this year.First let me tell you something about POSTEX and Apeldoorn: Dates are: October 19th (Friday) until 21st (Sunday). Frames can be filled from Thursday October 18th at 4pm. Official opening is on Friday at 10 am so everything has to be in the frames at that time.The exhibition closes on Sunday at 4pm after which time the frames can be emptied. It exhibition will be held in the Americahal. There is more than enough parking space. During the exhibition there will be 4 specialist societies who will have special exhibitions: -Czechoslovakia (us)-Eastern-Europe (they cover everything from Poland until Bulgaria + Russia)-France-Germany (interesting for the Germany collectors among you) The exhibition is visited by about 2500 people. There are a lot of dealers present. Look at www.postex.info There is catering present at the exhibition days. There is a good hotel, called De Cantharel which offers reasonable prices. A certain number of rooms there have been pre-booked by the organizers. Guests can mention "Poste" or "Mr. Louwerse" when booking, but are responsible for their own booking. They should not forget to make a booking for dinner as well, otherwise the restaurant might be full. We plan on organizing a get-together in the evening (probably Saturday) at some stage. If we decide to hold this outside the hotel, it will be easy enough to cancel the dinner booking. Guests wishing a more upscale hotel can get into the Hotel Keizerskroon. Since the region is a tourist region there will be plenty B&Bs as well, but because the weekend is in a school holiday reservations are necessary The region is a tourist region. The town Apeldoorn has a royal palace (with beautiful gardens) and a monkey zoo (Apenheul). South of the town is the National Park "De Hoge Veluwe". About 25 kms away is Deventer, a former Hanze-city with historical town centre. Our society has applied for about 80-100 frames. Frames hold 12 pages (like in Germany) of standard album size. They can hold 15 standard A4 sheets. We would like to invite you (our sister-societies from Germany and Great-Britain) to each fill about 25 frames. We are thinking about inviting 1 or 2 collectors from the Czech Republic to participate as well. Although they have expressed interest we are not thinking of inviting the Americans because of customs problems.In this way I think we could give a good overview to the public about Czechoslovak Philately. Exhibits will not be judged unless the participant wants this. In that case they will be judged by the Dutch society according to the Dutch rules either in rank 3 (no pre-qualification) or rank 2 (pre-qualification needed). The German and Dutch Philatelic Societies recognize results achieved in the other country for pre-qualification.If possible we would like to know by March 1st of your society is willing to participate with about 25 frames in this exhibition. We would like to have the application forms by April 15th, after which we will let you know which exhibits have been accepted by May 15th. An application form is attached to this message.Application forms should be sent to my address only and not directly to the organizers. Our society will have an information stand, where we will have space to receive and meet fellow collectors. We will be able to sell literature there (Arge and CPSGB Monographs?). At the exhibition there will be no further society meeting, since there is no decent room at a desired moment There will however be lectures staged by the Dutch Philatelic Society. We do intend to have an evening meeting somewhere in Apeldoorn, but we can only plan this when we know how many people will be there. We sincerely hope that your society is willing to participate and are looking forward to your application. If anything remains unclear, please do not hesitate to contact me (+31.161.226507) or at hans57@home.nl Best regards, Hans Hans van Dooremalen, Hoofdstraat 1015121, JC RijenNederlandTel. +31.161.226507Fax +31.161.232809 Email: hans57@home.nl 7.2.2007 |

CZECH POSTAL
AGENCIES 1900 – 1958 from Petr GEBAUER, Brno, Czechia: http://www.japhila.cz/hof/0174/index0174a.htm Postal agencies were small postal places opened when postal services were needed but a post office would not be profitable. The agency was managed by a reliable local citizen. Postal agencies were equipped with handstamps were placed aside of the stamps on covers and other mail. Owing to the small extent of mail and other factors is the collecting of agency handstamps a very difficult task; many handstamps are known in one or several items only and a number of them have not been found yet. Postal agencies existed unofficially already before 1900, officially they were introduced in 1900 by the Austrian posts. They were continued under Czechoslovak administration as well as under the German posts during 1938 - 1945. They ended under the Czechoslovak posts in 1958. The exhibit consists of 10 frames; the first 6 frames document the kinds of used handstamps and postal services for the individual postal administrations and times periods, the last 4 frames show special areas of postal agency collecting: 1. Austrian postal agencies 1900 - 1918; 2. Austrian agency handstamps used 1918 - 1924; 3. Czechoslovak postal agencies 1919 - 1939; 4. German postal agencies 1938 - 1945; 5. Postal agencies in Bohemia and Moravia 1939 - 1945; 6. Czechoslovak postal agencies 1945 - 1958; 7. Letter agency handstamps; 8. Postal agency buildings; 9. Local post from postal agencies; 10. Agencies in Forced Labour Camps 1938 - 1945. OC EXPONET 17.12.2006 |

Washington 2006 Exhibition Distributes Quarter Million Dollar Surplus
As Seed Money for 2016, Matching Grant to APS and Educational Gifts. Washington 2006 issued its final show report at its Board of Directors meeting at APS Stampshow in Chicago and announced that the world philatelic exhibition had not only received many accolades, but also had achieved a surplus of more than one quarter million dollars. President Michael D. Dixon stated that the surplus reflected the fact that significant contributions had been made by more than 600 individual and society members who had provided the seed money for Washington 2006. "We believe we were able to meet all our expenses and preserve most, if not all, the individually contributed funds." He said the Executive Committee recommended that the Board of Directors vote to reinstate past practices to provide seed money for the next international stamp show in the US and to support educational projects. The directors voted to distribute the initial surplus funds of just over a quarter million dollars to provide $100,000 in seed money to New York 2016 and $75,000 to the American Philatelic Society as matching funds in its fund raising campaign to move the Headsville post office from the Smithsonian to the American Philatelic Center in Bellefonte, PA. They also voted five gifts totaling $90,000 for various educational projects. The directors approved taking the necessary legal steps to discontinue the Washington Philatelic Exhibition corporation within one year and by August 2007 turn over any additional remaining funds to the American Philatelic Society. The educational support was provided in the following way: Smithsonian National Postal Museum -- $25,000 gift in support of philatelic programs. These include the ARAGO system which will enable collectors throughout the world to access the NPM collections for study and information from their own homes. The on-line system was introduced at Washington 2006. Washington 2006 had also provided in-kind services to the NPM during the show with a value of more than $40,000. Stamp Camp USA -- $50,000 to support this initiative in youth stamp education, which had been organized initially in Pennsylvania with the support of the US Postal Service. It proved to be an effective program with youngsters at Washington 2006. NAPEX--$5,000 to support this national stamp show's youth educational program. NAPEX provided many of the volunteer chairpersons for Washington 2006. Virginia Philatelic Federation and Springfield Stamp Club -- $5,000 each to augment their youth educational programs. Both organizations and the American Philatelic Society lent Washington 2006 their exhibit frames, thus helping to reduce show costs. The directors also voted to transfer ownership of the 1800 new A-frames (900 units), purchased by Washington 2006 for $80,000, to the American Philatelic Society. The 1500 pole frames which had been received from the Royal Philatelic Society Canada have been transferred to the Federación InterAmericana de Filatelia. FIAF has distributed them to federations in this hemisphere. Several of these federations had no frames and as a result had never held a national exhibition. Others had frames so old that they were nearly unusable. For additional information, write to Washington 2006, PO Box 2006, Ashburn , VA 20146-2006, or see the web site at http://www.washington-2006.org . Questions may also be emailed to info@washington-2006.org Over 1,000 photos of the exhibition may be viewed at http://w2006.myphotoalbum.com .

A somewhat unusual but nevertheless worthy exhibit has made its way to EXPONET, virtual international exhibit, visible on www.japhila.cz/hof/0113/index0113a.htm It is a single frame exhibit depicting the Second International Philatelic Literature Exhibit "EXPRINLIPH" held in conjunction with the well known PRAGA'1938 exhibition. Bretislav Janik's exhibit shows pages from the catalogue, lists the organizers and Patrons, and is presented in several world languages. But he raises a serious question to which he seeks an answer from our readers. It is: "Where did the FIRST International Literature exhibit take place?". If you know the answer, please contact Mr.. Janik directly by e-mail at janik@japhila.com Henry Hahn 27.8.2006 |

Catalogue of Exprinliph - IInd
International Exhibition of the Philatelic Press and Literature OK, but where are 1st international exhibition? The first international association of the philatelic press was, the FIPP (Federation International de La Press Philatelique) founded in Italy by Giulio Tedeschi in 1927. The members were informed about the specialist publications with almost 200 bulletins worldwide intil 1938. World conventions took place in Le Havre (1929), Antwerp (1930), Brunswick (1931), Vienna (1933) and in Brussels (1935). The political situation at the time and the Second World War prevented the further development of this early association." http://www.aijp.org/AIJP_EN/History.php Victor Manta 27.8.2006 |

The Dutch are coming back Exhibiting at the Collector Trade Fair last year for the first time was the Netherlands company World Coins International from Huizen, which is one of the world’s leading wholesale companies in the area of modern collectable coins. This year, visitors will again find them at the same place. In accordance with tradition, the Austrian firm Schoeller Münzhandel from Vienna will have the biggest exposition at the trade fair. At its stand it will be representing ten world mints. Jindrich Jirasek 16.8.2006 |

UN Day on Sunday Traditionally, Sunday at the trade fair has belonged to the United Nations Organization. The organizers declare it as UN Day, and a commemorative UN rubberstamp is available for collectors at the stand of the Czech Post. For the duration of the trade fair, postcards for the Collector Trade Fair will be on sale at the stand of the United Nations Postal Administration, and a cachet will be available. The UNPA has been a participant at the Collector Trade Fair every year since the very beginning and is one of the fifteen exhibitors that have not missed a single year’s trade fair in the nine years of its existence. They deserves our thanks, since at the fair’s premiere in 1998, they could not have known what they were getting into with us. It is also thanks to them that the Collector Trade Fair in Prague has over time grown to its current large dimensions and has become the biggest collector’s event in the countries of Central and Eastern Europe.

Slovak Post first time with its own stand Among the participants this year for the first time at the Collector international trade fair to be held in Prague on 15 – 17 September will be the Slovak Post with its own stand. Slovak Post employs the finest Slovak designers, so it is no surprise that Slovak stamps, FDCs and other philatelic materials are very popular, and not only with Czech philatelists. For example, a stamp issued last year from the art series Dinner at Emmaus by Rembrandt van Rijn was chosen as the most beautiful Slovak stamp. Jindrich Jirasek 11.5.2006 |

Exhibitor from Argentina Mr. Juan N. Simona of Buenos Aires will be coming to the Prague fair for the second time. He is among the most famous philatelic merchants in Argentina, and he has been a postage stamp dealer for over thirty years. In Prague, he will be selling not only Argentinean stamps including the latest issues, but also contemporary stamps from around the world, letters, envelopes, postcards and other material. Jindrich Jirasek 11.5.2006 |

AIJP at the trade fair This year’s trade fair will pay special attention to the World Association of the Authors and Journalists in Philately (AIJP). That organization brings together many outstanding journalists involved with philately both from a specialist’s perspective and with the aim of its popularization. Among its Czech members is for example Mr. Miroslav Langhammer. Late last year, the publisher Pofis released his beautifully illustrated work Filatelie je víc ne¾ známky (Philately is More than Stamps) for young and beginner philatelists. Jindrich Jirasek 11.5.2006 |
|
H. D. Rauch plans to return to Prague Among the regular exhibitors at the fair is the Austrian auction house H. D. Rauch from Vienna. Rauch regularly holds philatelic and numismatic auctions. Collectors can also buy many items over the internet, including postage stamps, coins, honorary decorations or medals. Dukát, a coin shop in Brno, will again be at the Collector fair.

Popular postal services are coming back to
Prague Fair Collector Swiss Post has taken a liking to the fair. They will participate at COLLECTOR this year (to be held on 15 – 17 September in Prague) for the third time in a row. The Swiss issue very interesting stamps and post cards/envelopes with printed postage stamps that attract much interest among the fair’s visitors. Among the record holders in terms of numbers of participants are the Australian Post and the Irish Post. Both of these postal services have had exhibits at the fair continuously since the first annual fair in 1998. Naturally, they will not be absent this year either. Jindrich Jirasek 5.4.2006 |

Aix-phila will have an even bigger
offering Fifty German philatelic auction houses achieve an annual turnover in the hundreds of millions of Euros. One of the best known German auction houses is the firm Aix-phila from Aachen, another traditional exhibitor at the Prague fair. Founded in 1987, Aix-phila has been participating at the COLLECTOR fair from the very beginning, and each year its participation has grown. This year it is preparing an even bigger offering for visitors than it had last year. Jindrich Jirasek 5.4.2006 |

Coins from around the world at the fair The fair Collector is a Mecca for collectors of modern coins and for people who want to invest in coins.

Lindner once again in Prague Lindner Falzlos, a German maker of aids for philatelists and other collectors, will again be at this year’s fair. Founded in 1947 by August Lindner, since the start of the year the company’s management has passed on to what is now the fourth generation of Lindners.

A perfect offering of motifs Since this year’s Collector trade fair does not conflict with the Stampex fair in London, the Dutch philatelic dealer Wim van der Bijl from Utrecht is returning to Prague after a year’s absence. His stand always attracts lots of visitors, and it’s no wonder. He amazes fair visitors with his perfectly prepared offering of motifs. Instead of just offering stamps, books of stamps or postcards/envelopes with pre-printed stamps broken down into categories like cars etc., he has them grouped as Ford, Volkswagen, FIAT etc., helping customers find what they are looking for very quickly. Jindrich Jirasek 5.4.2006 |

Bill Barell is coming back This year, Bill Barell from Lincolnshire, a well known expert on the history of the postal system and stamps in Great Britain, is taking advantage of how nicely the Stampex fair in London ties in with the Collector international trade fair in Prague. This year at the fair to held in Prague on 15 – 17 September, he will have an exhibit together with David Morrison, who will be exhibiting, among other things, envelopes from shipwrecks and mail from railway accidents. Jindrich Jirasek 5.4.2006 |

UNPA every year The United Nations Postal Administration (UNPA) in Vienna has participated each year at the Collector international trade fair since the first annual fair in 1998. It considers the fair to be a prestigious event in Central Europe, both from an organizational standpoint and in terms of attendance levels. For each event it issues a so-called white card with a Prague motif. Sunday at the fair is always declared to be UN Day, and the Czech Postal Service uses a special postmark for the occasion. Naturally, this year will be no different. Jindrich Jirasek 5.4.2006 |

Euronumix is satisfied Last year the company Euronumix from Düsseldorf participated at the fair for the first time. They offered coins from Monaco, San Marino and Vatican City and they were successful. This year, Euronumix is returning to Prague. Last year they made their own photographic documentation of the Collector fair which devoted to the organizer of the fair. Jindrich Jirasek 5.4.2006 |

Minerals and jewelry to add
variety to the fair Each year, minerals from around the world and jewelry made with precious stones add to the variety of the fair. It is especially the wives of visitors and collectors who will be making a real dent in their husbands’ wallets at gem dealers’ exhibits. Such traditional exhibitors as Mineral Metal, Lubo¹ Poděbradskı, Jiří ©palek, Jaroslav Hyr¹l and new exhibitors like Jiří ©edı – Probika will be represented at the fair this year. Jindrich Jirasek 5.4.2006 |

Premiere of an Italian company This year, the Italian company SEPA s.r.l. from the city of Faenza will be participating for the first time. The company manufactures accessories for philatelists and numismatists. Founded in 1963, the company was originally involved mainly with collecting, manufacturing and dealing in albums for coins, bank notes, postcards and other collectibles. Gradually, however, the company has expanded its activities into such new areas as paper goods, office supplies and publicity matter. Jindrich Jirasek 5.4.2006 |

Important message of the fair
organizer to exhibitors
In addition to many other firms, the company Construct Data GmbH offers exhibitors entries in trade fair catalogues. We would like to inform you that when making catalogues for our own fair Collector, Progres Partners Advertising s.r.o. acts wholly independently, and it has no connection whatsoever with the company Construct Data Verlag GmbH, which operates the Internet page Fair Guide. We have not permitted this company to use our name or trademarks in their advertising. In the case of the published advertisement of the company Construct Data GmbH, this is not our official trade fair catalogue nor official trade fair catalogue of our trade fair ordered by us. The unsolicited offer forms sent out were often filled in mistakenly and signed with the understanding that the entry in the so-called Fairguide was to be made free of charge. But in reality, costs exceeding 2,900 Euro are evident from the text in fine print. As the Association of the German Trade Fair Industry (AUMA) has informed, on the basis of the court ruling issued, there exists no legal claim against the customer, even in the eventuality that he signed the offer form. You can receive more detailed information on the ruling at http://www.auma.de/content/meldung29_d.htm Jindrich Jirasek 5.4.2006 |

BC PHILATELIC SOCIETY
PLANS VANPEX 2006 This year’s theme: “Three Kings for Canada”. The theme of VANPEX 2006, “Three Kings for Canada,” recalls the year 1936, when three separate monarchs served as monarchs for what was then the Dominion of Canada. The national-level stamp show is scheduled for September 8-10 in Coquitlam, BC, a suburb of Vancouver. It is hoped that many of the show’s 180 exhibit frames will feature collections relating to the “Three Kings” theme. Bourse Chair Jim Miller reports that the VANPEX bourse is already sold out, and that there is a waiting list. Twenty stamp dealers have rented all 29 dealer tables. Two additional tables are reserved for Canada Post, which has been invited to attend... Bob Ingraham, Exhibits Chair, VANPEX 2006 (other informations) 4.4.2006 |

Every seventh visitor is from abroad As we have already informed, at the last event in 2004, the organisers of the trade fair Collector organised a survey of visitor makeup. From the survey of a sample of 271 recipients addressed at random it was found that 14.8% of visitors came from abroad. This means that an average of every seventh visitor to the trade fair was a foreigner. Naturally, they mostly came from neighbouring countries – Poland, Slovakia, Austria and Germany. But visitors from far more distant places came to the trade fair – from Slovenia, Great Britain, Spain, Russia, Switzerland, Belgium and also from Thailand, China and Japan. There was a total of 12,155 visitors at the last Collector. Jindrich Jirasek 13.12.2004 |

Free appraisal service at trade fair Every year, a free consultation service is available to visitors in all fields of collecting. In the field of minerals and precious stones, the service is traditionally provided by the court appointed appraiser Karel Mařík from the Prague firm Mineral & Gem Collection. Every year, more and more visitors come to his stand. In 2002, there were 18, last year there were 26, and during the last event 32 people were interested in the service. There often arise curious situations during the appraisal of minerals, jewellery or precious stones. Last year a gentleman stood before the exhibition stand for a while before asking whether he was in the right place for a decision and whether he had a diamond or not. He showed a gentleman’s gold (brass) ring with a solitary stone of considerable size. Following negative test results, he said that he had thought so too, but that he would come back. A few minutes later he was back, and he tipped out several small loose stones from a piece of crumpled up paper which were “definitely supposed to be diamonds”. The test results were negative once more. After a moment’s hesitation, he took it on board calmly and said that he would be back. He returned, but not alone. He had brought a lady with him, who he submitted for tests on the diamonds and jewels that she was wearing. The situation became slightly critical and became visibly worse after the discovery that the lady didn’t have a single diamond on her. It took a lot of explaining, but in the end the pair understood that the appraisal service provided did not consist of turning glass into diamonds. Jindrich Jirasek 12.12.2004 |

McCANN ACCEPTS NEW WASHNGTON 2006 POST Dr. Peter McCann, international exhibitor and judge, former APS president, and current W2006 Director, has been appointed chairman of the newly spun-off Washington 2006 Competitive Exhibit Selection Committee. The principal duty of the committee is to select the competitive exhibits for Washington 2006. Applications are expected to outnumber frames by a factor of two or three. McCann will work closely with John Lievsay, Commissioner General, who continues as liaison with all commissioners. Charlie Peterson will assist McCann in using FIP-sponsored software and records from previous FIP exhibitions to ensure compliance with their regulations. Peterson had previously headed the combined Jury and Exhibit Selection Committees. The Washington 2006 Management Committee decided that realigning the groups would allow each chairman to better focus on their respective mission. In addition to chairing the Jury Committee, Charlie continues to solicit world-class philatelic rarities, special collections and Court of Honor material for display at W2006. All three men hold positions with the FIP, the international philatelic federation based in Zurich, Switzerland. McCann is a vice-president, Peterson is a director, and Lievsay is a member of the FIP Fight Against Forgeries committee. Exhibitors are urged to apply early to Washington 2006. Although the deadline for submission is several months away, response from U.S. exhibitors continues to exceed expectations. The U.S. Commissioners are: George J.

NEWS ON THE EXPONET:
WHAT IS KOBAN? As you can see on the following pages, the Koban issues of Japan are fascinating, because of the many paper and perforation varieties and, most of all, because of the many different cancellation types used for domestic and foreign mail in Japan and in the many post offices Japan operated in foreign countries. For that reason I collect only used stamps, preferably on cover, used postcards and other used Koban stationary... Horst Mueller (other information) 17.11.2004 |

This helps WADP to provide guidance and assistance to the countries concerned. It is important that the stamp collectors check the listing of the legal issues (through www.wnstamps.ch website) and double-check beforehand the authenticity of the stamps they want to purchase.

New WASHINGTON 2006 Web Site Design Unveiled The web site for Washington 2006, the international exhibition scheduled for May 27-June 3, 2006 at the Washington, DC Convention Center, has been completely redesigned. It can be viewed at http://www.washington-2006.org Randy L. Neil of Neil Creative Media took on the challenge of giving the show's web presence a new look and making it easier to navigate. An initial prototype was presented to and approved by W2006 officers in August. Work on the final product began soon thereafter. It has been online since mid-October. Neil has since accepted the position of webmaster, taking over from Doug Lehmann, who held the post since the first web site went up in 1998. Doug was recently named chief administrator of the exhibitor's bin room. "A redesign was always in our plans to take place about two years before the event," says W2006 Media Communications chairman Tom Fortunato. "The Washington 2006 web site has been a collaborative effort from the start. Doug laid the groundwork, and Randy's new look continues to set the standard other international philatelic exhibition sites should emulate now and into the future." Much can be found on the web site. Visitors will be interested in learning about show registration and area hotel discounts. A current listing of attending dealers, postal administrations and societies is there as well. Exhibitors from around the world will find details about applying for the exhibition, including The Bulletin and national commissioner contact information. Advertisers will find several options in both print and electronic formats. Unlike other international exhibitions, individual and society memberships financially support Washington 2006. The show is recognized by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service as a 501(c)(3) organization, allowing donors to take a tax deduction to the fullest extent of the law. Contributors should bear this in mind as 2004 comes to a close. Questions about Washington 2006 may be emailed to info@washington-2006.org, or by writing to Washington 2006, PO Box 2006, Ashburn, VA 20146-2006 USA.

Collector Prague 2004: Record Broken Once Again! Every year the number of exhibitors and visitors rises at the international trade fair Collector in Prague. This year’s seventh annual event, which was held from 10th to 12th September was no exception. A record number of 220 exhibitors from 34 countries came to the trade fair, and 12 thousand visitors came. The trade fair moved to a different hall on the Prague Exhibition Grounds which is one thousand square metres larger than the hall where it had been held before. The exhibitors thus occupied a gross area of 4700 m2. This year, women had free admission to the trade fair for the first time. Jindrich Jirasek (other information) 3.10.2004 |

BOOK REVIEW: "SCOUT
PHILATELY IN OUR TERRITORY" (Skautska Filatelie na Nasem Uzemi) by Ivan Vapenka. The handbook and unpriced catalogue published by PRAGOLINE in Prague in 2004 is particularly directed to non-Czech collectors of Scout issues, though unfortunatelly not as yet translated into English or German except for a two-page abstract at the back of the book. The major intent of the book is correct existing foreign publications which have misled Scout collectors in the past. Henry Hahn (other information) 6.9.2004 |

STAMP MADE OF WOOD It may sound funny and next to impossible, a stamp made of real wood; but the Swiss Post is not yet at its end of innovation! After the issue of round self-adhesive postage stamps to commemorate Sydeney Olympics (2000), the first-ever embroidery stamp (2000), stamp with the flavour of real Swiss Chocholate (2001), stamps depicting roses with the real fragrance of rose (2002), the Swiss Post has again demonstrated its rich heritage of innovation! This new stamp of wood will be issued in limited quantity on 7th September 2004. It will be of rectangular shape with dimensions 40 x 50 mm and will be 0.7 mm thick. It is made of high quality fir. The word "HELVETIA" and the denomination "500" (5 Swiss Francs) will appear on the stamp and the typical year rings of the wood will decorate the stamp. It will be self-adhesive. It will be on sale at all post offices and philatelic sales points and will also be on sale in the 2004 year-set. The announcement of this novelty was not disclosed till 5th August. Usually there is a special occasion for the issue of such "out-of-way" stamp, for example the Swiss National Exhibition, which is held after every 4 years. Also it is not clear how the Swiss Post decided to choose such a material, which is brittle and a stamp made of wood would not "servive" the shocks and rough handling, including the pressure applied by the obliterator for canceling it! The Swiss Post claims that they wanted to remind to the Swiss and to the world that although Switzerland is in reality a rich nation, it is surprisingly very poor in natural resources! Very few people in the world know this fact. One of their great natural resources is "Water" and now also "Wood". The stamp presented by Swiss Post together with representatives from the Swiss Agency for the Environment, Forests and Landscape (SAFEL) and the Swiss Wood Industry Federation (Lignum). Swiss Post demonstrates the many possible uses for Swiss wood and and its significance for a tiny country like Switzerland. This wooden stamp is likely to arouse the public interest, not only in Switzerland but all over the world. According to the Swiss philatelists Swiss Post will better their revenue by selling this stamp mainly to the philatelists and it is believed that most of these stamps will never be used for franking letters. This stamp with denomination of 5 Swiss Francs are used for paying the postage(plus registration fees) of a registered letter in Switzerland. There will not be a block of four stamps, as it was in case of the reputed embroidery stamp. The embroidery stamp, sold at 5 Swiss Francs is now catalogued at a value of 12 Swiss Francs, and the block of four sold at 20 Swiss Francs is catalogued at 350.- Swiss Francs. Perhaps the wooden stamp may also face a similar “fate" in future! Swiss Post issued about 1.3 million embroidery stamps, of which there were about 10 000 blocks of four. Most probably the number of Wood Stamps will be much lower than that of the embroidery stamp. Swiss Post normally declares the figures of stamps issued after about a year and a half. It is said that Swiss Post collected a revenue of about three to four millions of Francs by issuing the embroidery stamp, most of these stamps found their way in the collections of philatelists all over the globe, so the covers franked with these stamps and gone through the postal channel are scare and this will determine their price. The marketing strategy will surely reward Swiss Post, even when these wooden stamps will not be sold and used as normal postage stamps but will be treasured as a novelty world over. The embroidery stamp was "copied" by other countries, perhaps this wooden stamp will have its "rivals" in days to come!

AUSTRIA HONORS ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER Austria Post will issue a commemorative stamp on Arnold Schwarzenegger in the Austrians Living Abroad series on July 30, 2004 in the denomination of Euro 1. The stamp designed by Hannes Margreiter is printed in photogravure in the quantity of 600,000. Arnold Schwarzenegger was born on July 30, 1947 in Graz Thal, the son of a gendarme. He discovered bodybuilding while he was still at school and began to train regularly at the age of 15. In 1966, he was elected "Mr. Europe" and in 1967 he was elected the youngest "Mr. Universe" in London. By 1980, he had won the title "Mr. Universe" five times and "Mr. Olympia" seven times. These successes made him one of the most important individuals in the history of bodybuilding. Schwarzenegger emigrated to the USA in 1968. In 1973, he began to study business management and economics, graduating in 1980. He acquired American citizenship in 1983, and in 1986 he married the journalist Maria Shriver, a niece of John F. Kennedy. The couple has four children. His well-trained body led him to the film industry. In his first role in 1970, in "Hercules in New York", his voice had to be synchronised because of his very strong accent. Schwarzenegger achieved an international reputation 12 years later with the film "Conan the Barbarian" (1982). Films such as "Terminator", "Total Recall", "Kindergarten Cop" and "True Lies" made him one of the highest-earning Hollywood actors. In his honour, the newly renovated Graz "Liebenau" stadium in his home country was renamed the "Arnold-Schwarzenegger Stadium". Politically, this moderate Republican was for a long time relatively inactive (apart from his function as consultant for American sport). On October 7, 2003, Arnold Schwarzenegger (nicknamed by many the "Governator") was elected governor, and on November 17, 2003 before 7,500 invited guests he was inaugurated as the 38th Governor of the US state of California. stampsofindia@vsnl.net 26.7.2004 |

JOINT ISSUE - DEFINITIONS AND NEW
CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM A proposal for a new classification system for joint issues was made in August 2003. Several comments from collectors helped to refine the definitions and the classification system itself. The deeper we go in details, the higher becomes the number of sub-classes. At a certain stage it becomes obvious that some sub-classes will have to merge again, as otherwise, most of the sub-classes will contain only one example of an issue. There are still some issues that could be reconsidered, but overall we think we came to something coherent and probably also reliable for future issues...

INTERNATIONAL FAIR COLLECTOR PRAGUE
2004 World known mints are returning Every year, at its large stand the firm Schoeler Münzhandel from Vienna offers coins from several of the world’s mints. This year will be no exception. As director Elmar Schmid confirmed for us, this year visitors will have a chance to buy new items from the following mints: British Royal Mint, Die Deutschen Münzprägestätten, Mint of Finland, Monnaie de Paris, Münze Österreich, Royal Australian Mint, Royal Canadian Mint, Royal Dutch Mint and South African Mint. The Swiss Mint and United States Mint are still in negotiations. The firm Schoeller Münzhandel is very active at the trade fair Collector, as it is on the entire Czech market, and several years ago it even established a customer centre in the Czech Republic. Great interest of Portugal Post Last year for the first time the Portugal Post made a presentation at the trade fair, and apart from its activity of regular issues, it also offered philatelic material associated with the Euro football competition. This year the Portugal Post will be back at the trade fair, and once again it will have beautiful postage and revenue stamps. As the director of the philately department Luis M. Andrade, confirmed, the post has a tremendous interest in cooperation with philatelic traders and collectors in the Czech Republic and in the entire central European region. This year they will continue issuing stamps commemorating the football championship (for example, in the shape of a football). Shortly before the finale, it has a great surprise prepared. A stamp prepared for the occasion of the accession of ten countries to the European Union will be of interest for our philatelists. The trade fair is once again being held under the aegis of the Czech Numismatic Society Consultants of the Czech Numismatic Society have appraised several tens of thousands of coins, medals, bank notes, orders and decorations which visitors have brought over the last six years of the trade fair. The society, which has forty branches throughout the republic, accepted patronage of the trade fair during the first event in 1998, and every year it helps collectors and amateurs to appraise the material they bring free of charge. And every year the CNS also enriches the trade fair with an accompanying exhibition. Last year it was the Greatest Inflation in the History of Man (Hungary), in the year 2002 it consisted of a collection of Bills of Exchange, and three years ago it was medals issued by the society since 1924. Japanese association at trade fair for first time In last year’s last edition of the German magazine TeleSammler, which focuses on collecting telephone cards, there was a two-page item praising the last Collector trade fair, because the Prague trade fair is one of the events where there is still a representative offer of telephone cards. And so both buyers and sellers enjoy Prague. News of the success of the trade fair has reached as far as Japan. The result is an application from the Association of Collectors of Japanese Telephone Cards which was sent from Tokyo to the organisers for this year’s event by the president of the association, Hidetaka Matsuda. Czech Post at trade fair Česká po¹ta s.p. (Czech Post) was patron of the trade fair Collector during its second annual event in 1999, and one year before this it was one of the co-organisers of the international exhibition Praga, which is held in the Czech capital once every ten years. At the Collector trade fair, its stand is one of the largest, and in addition to the sale of philatelic material, at the stand it also ensures commemorative rubber stamping and other services for philatelists. This year the Czech Post (OZ DOS Postfila) issued its own category A postcard for the trade fair for the first time. Kremnica Mint with new items This year the Slovak Kremnica Mint will exhibit for the third time at the Collector trade fair. For this year it is preparing many new stamping, be they commemorative coins or medals. For example, upon the occasion of the accession of Slovakia to the European Union, the mint is preparing a commemorative bimetal coin (gold, platinum) with a value of ten thousand Slovak crowns, a commemorative silver medal with a value of SKK 200 and medals in silver and gold. All items will be issued in May. More mineral this year This year more firms will be joining the traditional exhibitors in the field of mineralogy such as the firms Mineral Metal and Mineral & Gem Collection. After several years the firm Mine Art is returning to the trade fair, and for the first time at Collector the firms Lubo¹ Poděbradskı and Jiří ©palek will be exhibiting. Visitors will thus have the possibility of choosing not only from a broad range of minerals and fossils, but primarily from amongst jewellery made from natural materials and precious stones, pearls, corals and diamonds. The fair Collector will be held on September 10 – 12th 2004. Jindrich Jirasek 8.3.2004 |
