re: unusual stamps

Bhutan is always the first place to check when it comes to stamps printed on odd materials.

The thangkas issue of 30Sep1969 is an example of stamps printed on silk.

Great topical, by the way!

re: unusual stamps

One type has one or more threads of silk embedded in the substance of the paper, extending across the stamp. In the catalogues, this type of paper usually is designated as "with silk threads."
The other type, used to print many U.S. revenue stamps, has short silk fibres strewn over it and impressed into it during manufacture. This is simply called "silk paper.""
The most interesting thing about the silk paper is how the silk paper was made. While the paper was still wet someone quite literally tossed a handful of silk fibers onto the sheet of paper as it was being made! As opposed to the Experimental Silk Paper where it was "Sprinkled" onto the paper often leaving large areas without any fibers at all

I found this on another site and thought that I might share...now of to check my revenue stamps!!

re: unusual stamps

Cheryl,


And don't forget porcelain, steel, aluminum, soccer ball material, seeds (that you could actually plant!), meteorite dust and rock dust,CD-rom....

....and I'm sure a few more I'm forgetting!

A member of our local stamp club here in Greenville has put together a display of all the unusual materials stamps have been created from. Quite an impressive display.

re: unusual stamps

As far as smallest and largest stamps go; the smallest I think of is the 1952 Columbian 5 cent stamp shown. There were several different small building types like this but this one is considerably smaller than the rest. When I think of largest stamps I usually think of the 1865 U.S. periodicals. However the "Persian Rug" beats it by quite a bit. The Banknote is thrown in for comparison. The rug is a catalog cut out, unfortunately Sad

Also issued as a Peel & Stick stamp on the same date.

Another one issued 6th Sept. 2005 (different design) - I don't have one but it looks the same size in the catalogue - Also listed is an imperforate version of this one released 10th Jan 2006.

Be good if someone could show a pic of those..

re: unusual stamps

Just wondering what countries may have issued stamps bearing seeds? I have located the Ghaf tree seed from United Arab Emirates and also one from the Netherlands...Might there be others?

re: unusual stamps

Look in Monaco in the 1980s. There are a bunch of sets featuring trees and their seeds, like #1205-20 and a couple of souvenir sheets in later years.

re: unusual stamps

Linn's October 26, 2015 reports two new stamp issues of unusual design:

New Zealand - stamp contains a replica of the home team jersey of the national rugby team. The jersey is printed on fabric.

Austria - stamp depicting lederhosen is printed on leather and encrusted with Swarovski crystals.

Very fetching! I seem to recall seeing someone coming out of Heaven Disco in London, dressed like that, in the 80's.

re: unusual stamps

This is one of the longer stamps I have. Sorry the picture is not brilliant, I had fun with the light reflecting off the ruler:
