Do you have images, or links to images, of all three designs?
I think I have seen two designs. The one which Jonty has bought an example of and the one which has been made available in sheet form on eBay a couple of times. I think Jonty's is what was the first design; not sure if the sheets are examples of the second or third design. |

 I may have jumped the gun - the 3 stamps were on the cover but there was no indication in the enclosed letter that these stamps were intended for production.
Reading back through my original post I hope my comments are not considered too uncomplimentary and apologise if that appears to be the case, but in my opinion the design is too great a jump from the existing stamps, and the traditional penny farthing element that is surely their unique selling point - and, indeed, their trading name - is all but lost.

To clarify, the 3 bude ones were sent as samples by someone who wishes to collaborate with me on stamp production. I haven't decided whether or not to have my stamps produced by anyone else as yet, and aAt the minute i only have the black and white in production. I can't currently see myself doing any new design for a while as it serves well and satisfies the postal need without being too flash.
Though i did attach the samples to this weeks outgoings as i thought it a nice gesture to the guy who designed them that they would actually get used in the post. :D He does produce a good quality lickable though. Which i feel is my next step, so considering and discussing, but ..... far too many things to do at the minute to worry about it too much. Supposed to get back to him, and started a letter, but millions of things have taken over. Typical. He probably thinks i'm rude, not, just stressed and rushin round like a bluebottle. :D Who'd have thought running an entire postal service, combined with worldwide media dealings and customer relations, oh yeah and actually doing the posting would takew up so much time. Go Figure. ha |

was hoping by putting my stamps on the envelops next to RM ones that they'd get a RM frank on too. Ah well.

Thanks a bunch Canvey Island. :D
I've decided to try sending a letter around the world to areas that operate local post services. My idea is to get one wonderful letter stamped and delivered by as many local posts as possible. If i stamp and frank an envelope and put a letter explaining with it, then put in another envelope and post to you, would you like to be the next to do the same? I'm sure you'd probably know of another local post to send it onto etc etc. Before i do however i'd lilke to set up some way of people tracking it, i.e somewhere online people can put a note saying they've had it and sent it on elsewhere. Obviously 'proper' post service would have to be used to get letter from place to place as well, so i propose the same outer envelope also gets used for each sending. Another one of my daft ideas, but could be fun. Anybody else got any ideas of where it could go? and is there a decent list of local posts somewhere? maybe theres one in the forum i've missed due to my own chaos. :D
