Welcome Back inspektor skilo! Just a friendly heads up Please do not put more than 1 scan per post! (I'm not trying to be a mr. smarty pants either.) I constantly struggle with this but it is a forum rule.

I collect United States Classics, classic covers, Tobacco related covers & bill-heads and World fair ephemera (prior to 1930's)

Thanks for the tip, I appreciate it. Truth be known I have always practiced this in my postings for two main reasons. The first is obvious, builds the post count quicker and secondly, it is an easier load on the folks with slower connections.

That being said.......

Funny you mention the middle horse Perfs, I noticed that last night when I fired it into the mix. Too funny!

Thanks again for the warm welcome, very kind of you all.

Have a good one,

Inspektor

There could only be one thing better -- if there had been some selvage still attached to one of the sides. Ah well, droolers cannot be choosers.

You're hilarious man. A new keyboard eh.... lol

I only see a text string for your drooling smilie, and the only reason I know it was supposed to be a drooling smilie is because I can read: see your quote for my view of the smilie.

Oh, and hat is a post without a little eye-candy? Here is a nice one from the vaults here @themothership:

Have a good one,

WElcome back, Inspektor - I will be learning
from scratch what a Downey Head is, so thank
you in advance! I am already noting two
moustache varieties in the stamps you showed
us - one (the ends point downward) makes him
look rather depressed!

Thanks for the WElcome back Kannik, very nice of you!

I'd be glad to help with any questions you may have on these amazing little nuggets of postal history, maybe you could scan some that you want to know about? I am also intrigued by your mustache comment, could you be so kind as to expand on your observation?

Here is an image that can help you start to identify the different types of 1d. Downey Heads, hopefully I will be able to start a thread about them sometime in the near future.

Have a good one,

I loved reading this book. The great thing about mukashi-banashi or folk-tales is that there is always a bit of historical truth buried in the stories.
