I recently managed to get my mitts on some of the Dan Dare stamps which date back to 1953 (time enough to prepare a 60th anniversary special issue?). They were free with Lifebuoy soap and collectors could claim a free album.

Not a full set by any means so I will be on the lookout for missing ones.
This is the album

At the time of writing there is a used copy of this on Amazon for £120. I don't think I can run to that!

I had posted up some images of similar items, but surprisingly it was on the previous version of this Forum. So here they are again.

This sheet is a version of some of the original Dan Dare stamps

These 'Interplanetary Essays are more common, and were produced in the USA in 1958 from the original plates seemingly, by H.E.McDonald of the Tatham Stamp Company.

These Interplanetary Essays seem fairly common

and lack something in design and concept.
I am not sure whether there were more than this one sheet. 4 sets are mentioned, but this sheet is the only one ever showm.

And another bit of fun stuff that would have been a free gift when requesting approvals. Dates from the early part of the 1960s

I recall my model rocketry years when, on occasions, we would prepare "Mail carrier" rockets and fire them up with a cargo of appropriately stamped mail. Assuming the parachute deployed correctly, and the rocket wound up in a position that it was safe to recover it from, and that there had been no burn through from the rocket motor.  We would then recover the "Rocket Mail" and post it on to the recipients.

The Dan Dare stamps are lovely. I must look out for some.

I'm very sorry, they were all sent to those who requested them... and it was years ago. I could build another mail carrying rocket easily enough however! It would have to be a simple one though... No kite this time.

How accurate could these rockets be and over what distance?

I am thinking of the possibility of a postal service to some island or remote part. Knock up some stamps etc

Careful.  I think that excuse has been used by the North Koreans and it doesn't seem to be believed - particularly in Japan.

If you're talking about hitting an island a few hundred yards away it's not going to be easy. Firing one across the Welsh or Scottish border would be a lot easier. The further it has to go, the larger and more expensive the rocket motors will have to be, and the less likely the rocket is to land near the target. 
Unguided Rockets are easy enough to point in the right direction and fire, but if they have a large payload they have a tendency to weathercock, (turn into the wind), and head off at a tangent to where they were aimed. They also have a recovery device, which causes the nose cone to pop off and a parachute to be deployed at apogee, so that the rocket and it's cargo will float safely down and not crash, destroying the mail. Once the parachute is deployed the rocket is again at the mercy of the wind, and on a windy day can be carried a fair distance before becoming tangled in the only really tall tree in the vicinity. 
Any kind of guided rocket is well beyond my capabilities to build, that's for the real physicists with big grants.
The rocket mail postman has to be a rare breed, a runner and a climber, as well as being a rocket wizzard!

Trinimalam here, excuse me.  A point of correction to this post.  The reprint should have read; copyrighted by H. E. Macintosh, Springfield Mass.  not H. E. McDonald.

I have been looking out for the Dan Dare Interplanetary stamp folder for well over 4 years and have finally not been outbid on one of these.
Dan Dare was one of the major stories in the Eagle comin from 1950 to 1967. The stamps date to 1953 under licence by Lever Brothers to promote Lifebuoy soap. Two stamps, from a set of 32, were included with each bar of soap. The folder and a starter pack of 8 eight stamps was orderable for just 7½d (thats old pence - about 3p). My album have the stamps stuck in AND this is the intention. Unmounted mint was not an option to kids in 1953 so this folder is the real thing.





The popularity of Dan Dare cn be measured by the fact that he has featured on Royal Mail stamps


and that he gets a mention in songs by David Bowie, Elton John and Pink Floyd.

Nice cinderellas, Steve. Thumbs Up

The production quality looks pretty reasonable and quite a number of the designs look to be pretty detailed and impressive in terms of their illustration and design content. Is there any indication in the folder of who printed the stamps and what printing process they were done with? How do you think they were printed from looking at them in the flesh?


Posted By: Steve
Date Posted: 02 March 2017 at 23:59
They are very well produced Joolz. Just like the real thing, and the blurb actually states that they had design influence from real postage stamps. The designer himself was a Leonard True, but can find no further information about him or the printers. The printing is very sharp and I believe they are comb perforated which are pointers towards a company used to printing stamps.
If you think that today's merchandising of fictional characters goes over the top, the same can be said for Dan Dare in the fifties. Any emphemera associated with the comic strip normally sells for a premium.
The offer of these stamps only ran for 8 months so that limits the number of the complete albums available these days, though they did run a swaps programme so you could complete the set. However that would mean buying 2 bars of that brand of soap a month.On the net you can see these items selling for £90 £140 or more, so reckon I got a bargain.
I still haven't found out why the single stamps that started this thread are postmarked North Walsham, Norfolk. 23 March 1963.

The same stamp offer was made in Australia during 1957, this time by Solvol Soap (which was owned by the same company as WD40, not Lever Bros).
Here is a large image of one stamp to show the quality and level of detail



They were printed se-tenant so perhaps one sheet comprised the full 32 stamp set, or perhaps done in batches of 8 for each part of the release.


And if you doubt the values put on the folder, an unopened packet of 2 stamps sold for £64!

So putting my thinking cap on, I contacted a fellow Cinderella Stamp Club member https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruce_Ronald_Henderson" rel="nofollow - - many cinderella stamps over the years.  I explained the young girl’s request, and he very kindly obliged.  Peppa Pig came out in two values and a nice minisheet, and we continued with more Sorbie stamps.

I add them to my mail, and they often attract the local postmark on them as well as on the GB stamps nearby!

So where is Sorbie, you ask?

It is a small rural village in southwest Scotland, in Dumfries & Galloway.  The cows and sheep far outnumber the sturdy human inhabitants, who rise at 5 a.m. and are in bed by 10 p.m. – farming means long hours!

Mobile phone? – forget it. Internet? – maybe it will work, maybe it won’t.

 
We even have a street light. Being in a dark sky area, we see the wonder of the night sky and even the Northern Lights.

The members of the Hannah Clan gather every year at the Sorbie Tower. I sent some of my Sorbie Marsh stamps to a member of the Hannah Clan in Colorado, who is putting them on the clan's website.  I’ve also sent some to other collector friends.


Showing my Sorbie collection in Dumfries and Kirkcudbright raised some laughs, but you never know.  They may fetch millions in years to come!  Those showing my grandsons playing the bagpipes have proved to be most popular, as have the Outer Space Research.

They were only trial designs produced to act as test-prints on specimens sheets of gummed paper, hence I didn't make a fuss about them.

They will never exist as sheets but will be used for general decoration on envelopes.  

If you saw anything that you are really keen on give me a shout  :-)  



And to answer the original question - who has the rarer of the two Space stamp designs shown - there are only about 20 of each of those - so both pretty rare!

I purchased these sheets a while ago but only recently discovered precisely what they were and the story is very interesting. Back in 1961 a science fiction project was begun in Germany in the form of a weekly magazine called Perry Rhodan. Effectively a chapter a week in an epic series that continues to this day more than 2,900 issues later. It is the biggest science fiction project ever.
   It begins with the first moon landing, then projected to be in 1971, with US Space Force Major Perry Rhodan and his crew who discover a marooned space ship from the planet Arkon. By appropriating technology from the space ship Earth takes its place in the galaxy.
   After disputes only about the first 18 years of work has ever been published in English.

   The stamps were produced in 1972 and feature main characters from the series, Bully on the 5 soli, Gucky on the 7 soli, Atlan on the 19 soli and Perry on the 23 soli. I'll show the sheets over 4 scan.

I see that photobucket, having restored their images, have now blurred them. They seem determined to do the wrong thing.

I acquired another set of the Dan Dare stamps very cheaply and was pleased to find that rather than being fully stuck in, they were attached using stamp hinges. So, now I have a mint set, albeit mounted mint.

Yes, quite bizarre that Photobucket would blur its pictures.  That makes it worse than useless to everybody!

So here is my latest Space issue.  Plenty of extras available for anybody who would like to add some to your collection: I am always amenable to a trade!


Occussi-Ambeno 2019 50th anniversary of the first human landing on the Moon.

The first Moon Walk took place in 1969, which was just one year after http://okusi1.tripod.com/" rel="nofollow - Occussi-Ambeno gained its independence and started issuing its own stamps.

This set was issued on 20th July 2019.

A special overprint was issued to celebrate the actual moon landing, and that was Occussi-Ambeno's first-ever commemorative set (if you exclude the "independence" overprints.)

Astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed their Apollo Lunar Module on 20th July, 1969, and walked on the lunar surface, while Michael Collins remained in lunar orbit in the command and service module, and all three landed safely on Earth on 24th July. Five subsequent Apollo missions also landed astronauts on the Moon, the last in December 1972. In these six spaceflights, twelve men walked on the Moon.

Apollo ran from 1961 to 1972, with the first crewed flight in 1968. It achieved its goal of crewed lunar landing, despite the major setback of a 1967 Apollo 1 cabin fire that killed the entire crew during a prelaunch test. Five of the remaining six missions achieved successful landings, but the Apollo 13 landing was prevented by an oxygen tank explosion in transit to the Moon, which destroyed the service module's capability to provide electrical power, crippling the CSM's propulsion and life support systems. The crew returned to Earth safely by using the lunar module as a "lifeboat" for these functions. Apollo used Saturn family rockets as launch vehicles, which were also used for an Apollo Applications Program, which consisted of Skylab, a space station that supported three crewed missions in 1973–74, and the Apollo–Soyuz Test Project, a joint US-Soviet Union Earth-orbit mission in 1975.

The final Apollo 17 mission marked the sixth Moon landing and the ninth crewed mission beyond low Earth orbit. The program returned 382 kg of lunar rocks and soil to Earth, greatly contributing to the understanding of the Moon's composition and geological history.

Now, I'm not necessarily taking credit here but I sent an email to Tom at Photobucket about the blurring of the images and the fact we are just hobbyists rather than making any money and the blurring has since been removed. Admittedly, they are still heavily overprinted with the word Photobucket but it is still an improvement!
