The Clock

New Entries

Today I present some stamps from Switzerland and Libya...Switzerland is one of the few countries where the number of recent stamps that I have is much larger than those of earlier days...From Libya , I just have some 1967 stamps and a few recent ones.. it is , as all the other North Africa countries , something that is waiting for "evolution" during next years...

Let us start with Switzerland...


This stamp is damaged in the inferior right corner, but it has a beautiful oval shaped Watermark..[I like to show Wmk's when they are clearly visible...] Scott World Catalog talks about an oval Wmk with a Cross inside...(??...!) but , where is the Cross..?? after we see this wmk so clearly, it is expected that the Cross is easily seen... but it isn't... Unfortunately , I don't have any other Wmk stamp from Switzerland, so I cannot conclude anything.. and I need to have access to a National Catalog, once more, of course..!
This is a stamp from a series (8) issued between 1882 and 1899...[ I should have explained this earlier, but I will do it now... when I talk of an issue like this , in a long frame of time , I wish to say that stamps from this series were issued until 1899..( for example the 2c in 1882, the 5c in 1890 and the 15c in 1899..). I think the general idea is clear...]

Here we have stamps from two different series , but the landscape represented is the same..    (view from the Chillon Castle)... 
1st) from a series (7+SS) 1934 "Landscapes"

2nd)3rd) these two stamps belong to a series (11) "Landscapes (1936/1942)" ; this series has 3 10c stamps (Red Violet, Red Brown and Orange Brown).. I think that these stamps are the Red Brown and Orange Brown...[I have great difficulty with colors...]..in the case of the Red Violet 10c stamp(I present this only by curiosity...) , we need to distinguish two types...A) the lines inside the 'zero' are all vertical lines B) there are other lines that cross the vertical ones..
