The nearest I’ve got is a PC of the Olypic Stadium Berlin, that I sent to my dad in 1984; the stamps are just Berlin stamps of that era.Little Nellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11862657943846727987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1050717887740211904.post-10376325910070359872012-07-22T15:47:41.760+01:002012-07-22T15:47:41.760+01:00Hi Bob ..

I will have to be on the lookout for the other three to complete my collection now! <br /><br />I also really like the rainbow rings of the Canadian stamps.Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03400663625666259393noreply@blogger.com
