I have been sitting on a 1,000 stamp bulk lot of US precancels for at least two years. I broke them out, and have been working on that lot, and many other precancels sitting in glassines. It's an area I have started, stopped, started, etc. ever since I started collecting stamps. Now, with the help of Steiner Pages, I finally am in hip deep. With at least 8,000 US precancels, I have a long way to go. Many of the stamps in the bulk lot were duplicated, or not Bureau Precancels. It's OK. This area of collecting really is a fishing expedition. One thing of surprise is the number of 599A (including a pair), and 634A I have found,

This week I went to France and played for a while with the Sowers. That was way too much fun. Then I wondered over to Germany. I'll be there for a bit today and then I get to spend a lot of time in Czechoslovakia.

Wow, I love Norway. My niece really is in Netherlands this week. Lovely pictures she has posted.
Next week or whenever I get leave of Czech, I'll be doing a fast world tour.

Why do I find myself back with Germany? Getting stamps ID'd and ready for listing in a few weeks. Slowly going alphabetically to get this done.
Need to keep the mind busy ...
