States Project | The Silver State


The States Project postcard for Nevada. I wonder why the state with the large gold mine in the USA is called The Silver State.



And I wonder, again... Why the mail monsters hate these flag stamps so much?

    Amazing the bird stamps are not abused like the flag stamps are!

      It's certainly curious. The bird stamps arrive generally safe and sound, but these poor flag stamps are not respected by the postal machines. Can it be because of the type of paper.

    I often receive postcards with marks on the front in about that position. My theory is that the paper used on the vintage stamps is not quite strong enough for the rigors of modern sorting machines

      I think so. But these stamps aren't that old, they should work better!
