India: Revenue Group of 7 SHARE TRANSFER stamps. Barefoot 2008 numbers: 50, [37 or 52], 59, 61, 62, 67, 69. Total Barefoot value of 20.50 pounds in 2008. The size and format of the 5 RS mauve stamp is not clearly listed / illustrated by Barefoot; the keyplate type and size is not illustrated; this example has a script watermark (which would be #37), but other information suggests it may be #50 (catalog value the same either way). Maybe this is something new or maybe the Barefoot listing needs to be improved. All Used with handstamps and/or punches or perfins, with VF centering.

"Republic of Djubaland" 1999 BOGUS "Cinderella stamp" souvenir sheet: "Fauna in Pop Art Images", four images of unclothed women. This is collectible art by Melvin "Mel" John Ramos (1935-2018; American) known for his paintings of nude females. While these "stamps" are bogus /fantasy items, Djubaland is a real place -- it is the southern most federal state of Somalia; it once had stamp issues as the Italian colony of Oltre Giuba. NH VF.
REPRESENTATIVE image of stamp design.

New South Wales: 1953 check on Bishop National Bank, at HONOLULU, in the amount of $11.20 to a stamp dealer in New South Wales, Australia. IN NSW, an orange 2d STAMP DUTY revenue stamp was affixed to the face and canceled. A very nice piece of stamp dealer history and a nice NSW revenue document. A revenue-stamped check on a Hawaiian TERRITORY bank to NSW must be very, very unusual!

Great Britain: Great Britain / Canada / U.S. Cinderella: 1939 House of Seagram King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Good Will Tour to Canada and the U.S. Four panel folder containing a complete sheet tipped-in (adhered only be the very edge of the top selvedge) sheet of 18 British King and Queen labels. The labels are gummed (never hinged) with F-VF centering; each label bears gray backprint text "Compliments / of / The House / of Seagram". Has a U.S. 1939 (New York) copyright, but seems to have been distributed in the U.S. and Canada. A wonderful Cinderella item with the obvious alcohol topic connection, but the front of the folder also includes topics of: Arctic, tropics, sled dogs, Western wagon train, modern railway locomotive, sailing ships, early settlements, North American Indians, Military officers, settlers, etc. As of 5 November 2022, I have seen individual singles (sometimes without gum) sell for $1-2 each, and I am aware of one complete folder (with labels) that the owner paid about $100 for. I have not noticed any sales of the full sheets from the folder. This seems to be a "scarce" item.
