I just mis-clicked and ended up here on the stamp forum by accident.
Very cool stamp. I collect owls, as a matter of fact.
I wouldn't mind having one of those.
I have a plate block of U.S. owl stamps (I put them in a little frame with owls, of course), and the frame sits on the shelf with all the other owls in the collection. The collection is mostly figurines, but there are some stamps and coins and plates and other stuff with owls. I inherited the collection from my grandmother and have sort of kept adding on to it.
Edited to add. I like coins and stamps with dragons, if you run across any of those at a resonable cost let me know.
U.S. coins I collect the state quarters, and Walkers, and any toner that catches my eye.
GQ,
Fine post. That's a great looking stamp.
Namibia 1998 Owl N$ 1,90 stamp (ex a 5 stamp Booklet) was awarded the coveted title of most beautiful stamp in the world for 1998. The competition was organized by a French Philatelic Magazine, and Postal Administrations from around the World voted.
To commemorate this achievement, Namibia issued a Special Miniature Sheet incorporating the above N$ 1,90 Owl Stamp
