Hi Folks,

SOR member Steve Swain has just published another article for our library – this time writing about stamps that use lenticular motion technology to produce a multiframe animation. Steve has a lot of great information about the technique and provides some nice links where you can see examples of the stamps. Check it out at: Lenticular Motion Stamps - A Philatelic Novelty

Thanks Steve for the great contribution!

Regards,
Ralph

re: Article on Lenticular Motion Animated Stamps

Nice article.

With the current sorting machinery used by USPS, not so sure lenticular stamps would survive. They have enough trouble not damaging many of the regular stamps. Steve, do you know if the Zazzle stamps are passing through all right?

" They have enough trouble not damaging many of the regular stamps. ....

Michael writes a joke. LOL
They simply care not one wit if the stamp being used is damaged or not.
They pay lip service to caring about the need of collectors, but simply do not understand that collected stamps are seldom used so they are clear profit.
And if at some time in the distant future stamps are pulled from an album and put on an envelope, the devaluation of the dollar makes the stamp that would have carried an envelope from Maine to Maui amost worthless as postage.

re: Article on Lenticular Motion Animated Stamps

I am not really sure how to read this sentence: "In September of 2007, the French Post issued the first lenticular stamp featuring the Rugby World Cup".
What is meant with it?
a. the first lenticular stamp overall
b. the first lenticular stamp issued by French Post
c. the first lenticular stamp featuring the Rugby World Cup

It cannot be a, because there have been lots of lenticular stamps produced before September 2007. Many from Bhutan, already in the 1960s, but there are from the Netherlands from 2006, and from Australia from March 2007, to name but a few.

Apart from that, interesting read!

re: Article on Lenticular Motion Animated Stamps

Jan-Simon is correct. There were earlier issues of stamps using lenticular technology before the French Rugby stamp was issued. I meant to say that the French stamp represented the first lenticular stamp issued by that country.

Interestingly, just before the stamp was issued, La Poste said on its Émotion du courrier website that it was the "first European lenticular stamp" (« 1er timbre lenticulaire européen »)!! Well, as Jan-Simon points out, that is not true given lenticular stamps issued by the Netherlands, Switzerland, etc. before the French issue.

If the French stamp is a first European anything, possibly it is for the number of pictures incorporated in the design?

I will take a look at that. (No pun intended!)
