Re: I thought some of you might be interested in this

What a lovely idea. I can't see the British Government allowing such a thing. I bet your parents were thrilled. Jacky The funny thing is whenever we have done this for someone they never use the stamps. They usually frame the stamps. As I mentioned these are licensed by the Federal Government and a...

Re: I thought some of you might be interested in this

This is the stamp I had made for their Wedding Anniversary.

As I said you could have a Unit, a father, friend, a tank, sub, favorite plane or whatever made into a legal US postage stamp.

I thought some of you might be interested in this
