Sunday Stamps | Different Shapes
A miscellany of different shapes for today's theme on Sunday Stamps: Shaped.
Maybe it is difficult to perceive this is not a square...
Ichthyosaurus UK, 2013 |
I have always appreciated the round stamps like these:
African Daisy USA, 2022 |
Chrysanthemum (First Day of Issue Pictorial Postmark) USA, 2020 |
Blocking - European Volleyball Championship Poland 2017 |
And this is an original shape, isn't it?

Unround
I got these stamps on a Postcrossing postcard from Poland. I was informed that Kazimierz Górski was a coach of Poland national football team.
But what obsesses me is the non-round postmarks...

Sunday Stamps | Bluenose
This stamp was issued in 2021 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the building of the Bluenose, the most recognized sailing vessel in Canadian history. This schooner was built in 1921 in Nova Scotia, Canada, and become a provincial icon for Nova Scotia and an important symbol in the 1930s, serving as a working vessel until she was wrecked in 1946. The name Bluenose originated as a nickname for Nova Scotians from as early as the late 18th century.
Today's theme in Sunday Stamps is Sails.

Datamatrix Stamps
The new UK stamps with datamatrix bar-codes have arose all kind of opinions. On this envelope from Alan, you can appreciate, more or less, how they differ from the old ones, also in size.
They say one of the reasons is to prevent forgery and reuse. The latter maybe could be avoided by properly cancelling the stamps...

Sunday Stamps | Postal Services
Stamps issued in 1975, commemorating the bicentennial of the United States Postal Service. I got them in 2021, though!
And some of the stamps issued by the Hungarian postal service, from 2017 on (I think it is an ongoing series), to celebrate the 150 anniversary of the postal service:
This is a post for Sunday Stamps. The theme today is Postal.
