What a great Cinderella stamp! It would have been great to be there, at the finishing line, for this event.

I can't even look at a picture of a Zeppelin without thinking of the Hindenberg exploding.
This event looks like an accident waiting to happen, there are far too many pointy bits  |

You comment reminds me of this Arrogant Worms song: History is made by stupid people
This verse always makes me smile, although it probably really shouldn't: The Hindenburg was a giant zepplin Its makers made a minor oversight Before they filled it up with explosive gas They should have fixed the no-smoking light It a nice stamp too! |

Thanks for bidding Pat. I thought the buyers of the tete-beche pairs deserved something a bit different from the Black Cats on their envelopes. These are taken from another gummed paper test sheet and again will need a bit of development if they were to be turned into a proper issue. Seemed a pity to leave them sitting in a drawer

Don't be disheartened Steve. The Zeppelin labels were not intended to be collected. They are from a rather hastily produced single sheet of samples printed to test some gummed paper and not an 'issue'. They were only intended as a bonus with the tete-beche pairs. |
