Outdoor decorative summer house flags with unique designs and themes add style and color to your home. The stamps depicting James IV, James V and Mary were all issued as part of a set of 6 stamps released by Royal Mail on 23 March 2010 which depicted monarchs of the House of Stewart from 1406 to 1625. The stamp depicting Elizabeth I was issued on 21 April 2009 as part of a set of 6 stamps on the subject of the Tudor monarchs. The first issue from Tanzania in 2012 has finally become available although it had been released on 15 February 2012 and is on the theme of material culture and consists of 5 stamps (depicted above) and a sheetlet of different values and a miniature sheet. In my opinion Bangladesh new issues have generally been excellent in recent years and always worth adding to one’s collection unlike those of Mozambique for which the Stamperija agency of Lithuania has added another 10 sets in sheetlet format with 10 accompanying miniature sheets, said to have been issued on 28 February 2012. Again, none of the stamps features a subject which has any relevance to Mozambique:- 70th birthday of Paul McCartney, British musician; 600th birth anniversary of Joan of Arc; 285th birth anniversary of Sir Isaac Newton, English scientist; 80th birth anniversary of Francois Truffaut, French film director; 150th anniversary of the abolition of slavery in The United States; 210th birth anniversary of Alexandre Dumas, French writer; 60th anniversary if the «disappearance» of Marilyn Monroe, US actress; 90th birth anniversary of Judy Garland, US actress; 35th death anniversary of Elvis Presley, US musical performer and 160th birth anniversary of Antoni Gaudi, Spanish architect.
The stamps are also available in se-tenant format and in a miniature sheet. Oh, I forget to mention, there is not one $25 stamp but four of them and they are also issued in miniature sheet format so that even though the Tongan Post Office wanted one Express Delivery stamp, the philatelic agents have managed to produce eight stamps costing the stamp collector not $25 but $200! Audits are generally selected by computer program, and there is no place on the return to indicate what qualifications the preparer possesses. A: Custom guidons are only available in 20″ x 27 3/4″ size. Are these custom made flags single sided or double sided? Royal Mail issued a single stamp earlier this year in the miniature sheet which accompanied the final set of British monarchs stamps- clearly they judged the bravery of Scott and his colleagues to be of less importance in the history of Britain than the work of the children’s book writer, Roald Dahl, who was commemorated by a set of 6 stamps, a miniature sheet and a prestige booklet (price £11.47p) less than a month before the solitary Scott expedition item appeared. Tristan had issued a set of 4 stamps on 30 September 1985 which depicted previous bird garden flags of the island.
Up until the adoption of the new flag, Ascension had flown the Union Jack but the island has issued a set of 4 stamps on 1 April 1997 which depicted flags connected to the island — the merchant flag or «Red Ensign», the RAF flag, the NASA emblem and the naval flag, the «White Ensign». Mark Capes, the Governor of St. Helena and Tristan Da Cunha and Ascension Island recently announced that the latter, itself a dependency of St. Helena, would fly its new national flag for the first time on Saturday 11 May 2013 which is Ascension Day, after which the island was named when it was discovered in 1503. The flag is a Blue Ensign with the coat of arms of the island placed at the fly. Until then, Ascension was the only Overseas British Territory, apart from the Sovereign Bases Of Akrotiri And Dhekelia, not to have its own national flag. In the lower border of the sheet, the first flag at the left relates to that which was flown from 1884 to 1916 when the Germans ruled the territory and the second depicts the civil ensign of the country, with its flag badge depicting the head (and neck) of a giraffe, when it became a League of Nations Mandate of Great Britain in 1919, the British having occupied Tanganyika by 1917 during the First World War.
I have previously mentioned the Pitcairn Islands Dickens Bicentenary issue which was released on 5 December 2012 and consists of 4 stamps but I can now include a better illustration which shows that as well as various portraits of Dickens, each stamp also depicts one of his characters — I recognise Sairey Gamp from Martin Chuzzlewit on the $1 value, The Artful Dodger from Oliver Twist on the $1.80, Pickwick from The Pickwick Papers on the $2.10 and, I think, Ebenezer Scrooge from A Christmas Carol on the $3.00 value. Bangladesh released a number of items on 14 June 2012 to commemorate the «Indonesia 2012 World Stamp Championship and Exhibition». It was on that day that Ford once and for all laid down the gauntlet to archrival General Motors-Holden’s; it was on that day that the completely new Ford Falcon sedan was released to the motoring public of Australia. But that additional income may only amount to the equivalent of a few dollars a day in exchange for the strenuous labor. The Corvette also began performing better in the race that mattered most to GM — the production race — with sales volume at 3,467 units now accounting for about a fifth of the Thunderbird’s level for 1956. That may have disappointed the accountants, but it heartened those at Chevrolet who had been fighting to keep the Corvette alive.
