Cork English type spoon was 1st cancelled in Green then Black
On the 18 Dec 1855 a Yellow Green colour was used, I have not seen this used on other dates
What I call Cork Green was in use for the 1st few weeks, you then see other shades of Green used later
Dark, Blue

1860: Argentina, province of Corrientes which issued its own stamps until 1880. Print from a wooden plate, it's always surprising when you first see it; you might mistake it for a forgery, clumsily imitating a French Ceres stamp. #philately #stampcollecting

Its amazing that ciphers from #Britishmonarchs adorn many #Irish postboxes 150 later.
Patrick Ryan explores why.

While visiting Edinburgh, I passed by Robert Murray's stamp shop (established in 1977). I knew it was closing. I took these photos as a memento. Perhaps there are still some treasures in those boxes. So many people must have found happiness here... 😔#philately #stampcollecting

1898: cover addressed to Thomas Cook & Son, travel agency in Luxor, Egypt. This Cie was founded by Thomas Cook (photo) and owned by the Cook family until 1928. From that date onward, it was sold several times and went bankrupt in September 2019. #philately #stampcollecting

Portraits of six famous philatelists on a miniature sheet from #France, 2022. Who would you choose from among your own country’s philatelists (whether collectors, dealers, authors or curators) for similar commemoration? 🤔

Monaco is issuing a stamp to commemorate the Pope's historic visit today to the principality. This visit is unprecedented since the Middle Ages…#philately #Monaco

1867: Cover from Dublin to Paris (Hôtel Suffren) via Calais, franked from Ireland with a French 40-centime Napoleon-type stamp, which makes it particularly interesting, but in fact, it served little purpose from a postal standpoint (unless there's another explanation @IrishStamps ). The recipient still had to pay the full 80-centime or 8-decime postage to receive the letter. Currently up for auction at RHP. #philately
