They answered a query for me in great detail earlier this year.awhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03952972062354370535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1050717887740211904.post-70814288612529285752012-11-26T18:03:19.084+00:002012-11-26T18:03:19.084+00:00I love the postcard set!!I love the postcard set!!Optimistic Existentialisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11507986337866049924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1050717887740211904.post-19660137887158293652012-11-26T17:59:28.344+00:002012-11-26T17:59:28.344+00:00i like that Battle of Hastings stamp!!
