  “… new…. ah… unused” LOL! As a native St.Paulite, now living abroad, I am proud of your promotion of the hobby.

  Frig, I love stamps! And flipping through an old worldwide album is great fun. Great episode. SO many projects on the go. An ongoing project that I am wanting to get back to you is transferring my British Commonwealth from 102 cards and glassines to Vario sheets. Dominica is next on the alphabetical list. Also am starting a “stamp journal” in the new year. Random stamps I like are mounted on a journal page and then I add hand written information to it. After a trip the SE Europe in November, I have found a love for Romanian stamps and its history as well as other nearby countries. So, there’s that. Want to complete my Isle of Man and add to my Iceland and Antarctic collection in the new year too. Oh, and organize my topicals: foxes on stamps and maps on stamps. Sheesh. &nbsp;<br>French stamps beat British (just British, not Commonwealth) straight up on beauty for me. There are so many beautifully engraved French stamps. <br>And as one who has experienced traumatic loss (I became a widower two years ago at age 52), I can attest to the importance of simply enjoying each day. Find the joy. Be kind. Take care of yourself and each other. NONE of us knows what tomorrow brings.

  Happy Holidays, Silk and family! Haven&apos;t even seen the video yet, but I am already excited hearing about your neighbor restoring the displays from Dayton&apos;s Department Store! Magical things from simpler times, and I love seeing them brought back to life. I would love to see America find some of her former glory and rediscover a love for herself and not allow people to take her and all her bounty for granted, as people are want to do in 2024. Things like your videos and the displays from Dayton&apos;s being restored and displayed again give me hope!

  Album from 1947. A big album worth every penny...you did a great buy. Hope you had a great Christmas and wishing you and Mrs Silk and family a happy and healthy new year 2025.

  Writer has been collecting since the age of 7, off-and-on, and now, I am on after a couple of decades. &nbsp;Now, I am specializing in Canada, Mexico, Costa Rica, Philippines, and a few others.<br><br>I also have a Reign of King George VI stamps, that came with an album and a few stamps, as well as Israel tabs, and Disneyana. &nbsp;This is all from years ago. &nbsp;<br><br>Since I resurrected the collection, purchases are a littler higher in price, and I think I recently found a Canada dealer from Canada. &nbsp;The US collection is added to in dribs and drabs, because everyone wants US, hence my interest in other countries and Canada. &nbsp;I grew up in Maine, which is right next door, so that only makes sense. &nbsp;I even got stamps from the Ottawa mint as a pre-teen and teen. &nbsp;Stamps have been good.<br><br>This is some of my story, and I&apos;m stickin&apos; to it!<br><br>Deb
