What a fun stamp subject!
ReplyDeleteBikes seem to be very common on stamps, more than I thought.
DeleteI find the Bicycles in professions set quite charming and uncommon. I'll have to cycle the rest of the set on future mail to you.
ReplyDeleteBicycles are common, but "in professions"... I don't think so. It is a very nice set, so thanks again.
DeleteThe leteiro stamp reminds me of this stamp from Singapore.
Indeed, exactly the same... Stamps can indeed be little windows opening up into our world as It is, was or will be.
DeleteHow cool! I never knew of mail delivered on bicycles....
ReplyDeleteIt used to be normal here!
