I thought these were amusing... Though I can't get the download link to work in Explorer or Chrome... It looks as though it may open in Firefox but it's going to take a while. http://www.cthulhulives.org/toybox/Stamps.html - http://www.cthulhulives.org/toybox/Stamps.html

| Nice link, Charles, I've printed off the 2 sheets. I had no problems using Firefox. |

Firefox was OK here too. I think I'll have some too (I'm trying to emulate Daniel's eclectic collection!). But I see that they can only be used in role-playing games. I wonder what they might be? "Postmaster and Postmistress" might be the one I'd like to try first! Then just "Postman's Knock" if I get slapped. Keith |

I thought you'd like the Innsmouth Lighthouse Hilary. I finally got the stamps downloaded... And I can see no prohibition against printing them out and adding them to a collection on a non profit basis. I got them printed up this morning... I wish I had a supply of gummed stamp paper in A4 size. it would make life so much easier. When I tried to print them last night I discovered that my computer had had an argument with my printer. they weren't talking to each other, and the computer was denying the existence of the printer... usual family bickering. They'd made it up when I restarted the system this morning and they printed off fine.

 Keith Did you see how I cunningly avoided the single entendre about the "sticky end"? You can't trap me as easily as that and this is probably a family site! |

You guys should get a room
 Only joking!How did I miss this sheet before? It has a lighthouse and a reference to Dunwich so is irresistible to this salty old sea-dog (no entendres there!).
Is there anyone who could perforate the sheet for me so that i could separate it into 'proper' stamps if I download a sheet and remove the printed perforation marks, then print it onto gummed paper?

| I'm reviving this thread since I have stated elsewhere on this forum that I believe that we have influenced a couple of stamp magazine articles. Well, this is one of them. Charles posted the story of the Lovecraft stamps on 7th April 2011. An article appeared in 'Stamp & Coin Mart' on these cinderellas in the October 2011 edition. Of course the other story, also relating to cinderellas, was the one featuring Hilary's Japanese Earthquake and Tsunami sheet, also in 'Stamp & Coin Mart', which I mentioned in that thread. |
