60) LONDON MUSICALS STAMPS PRESENTATION PACK

2011-05-31T12:21:00.008+08:00

London musicals and celebrating the glittering West End. Each of the eight stamps features a musical that has appeared on the London stage in the last seven decades, including current shows We Will Rock You, Blood Brothers and Billy Elliott The Musical, and past classics Me And My Girl, Oliver!, Monty Python’s Spamalot, The Rocky Horror Show and Return To The Forbidden Planet.

Roger Taylor and Brian May, members of the iconic rock band Queen, launched the stamps today (24th February 2011), celebrating the inclusion of their musical We Will Rock You. Taylor described the image on the We Will Rock You stamp as: “a triumphant gesture and I think it embodies the spirit of rock ‘n’ roll that we're trying to get over in our musical”.

It takes two years from the initial idea to the final product when creating a set of special set of stamps. This musical octet were designed to capture the essence of each musical using an iconic moment from a scene or a memorable poster design (Source: officiallondontheatre).

A note on quality of Obsolete Bank Notes

Unlike regular US Government notes, bank notes were not printed on the finest of cotton-bond paper or with the best of inks. They were not meant to circulate for a long period of time or circulate throughout the nation. They usually circulated on a local or state level, and probably not more then a few years at best. They were printed on whatever paper was available at the time. On some notes one can see some of the wood or pulp chips in the paper. In some cases, they were printed on earlier notes that were no longer in use. The technology of acid-free paper was not there yet, as seen with some of our national (USA) historical documents, and paper was much scarcer than we can today imagine. These notes had to be printed on semi-wet or moist paper, or the ink would not properly adhere. They were very labor intensive, and were printed by hand, one side at a time. They would manually ink the press, place the damp sheet in it, and run the roller over it. The sheet would be hung to dry, and the same process of wetting and printing would be repeated for the reverse. In the case where more than one color was used, the process would have to be repeated for each color. Unpurified water was used in the wetting process, thereby introducing more minerals or impurities to the paper. As a consequence, many of these notes are very difficult to locate without discoloration, color bleeding or what looks like water staining, due to the wetting process. As if that was not enough, they were individually cut with scissors or crude cutting boards, making them very difficult to find with good margins, or the design itself not cut into it. When grading them today, the coloration, bleeding or some stains, do not deduct from the grade, for the great majority have these problems. Margins, alignment and condition of the paper itself are the main grading points. However, when finding some of these notes without many of the usual problems, one should recognize that it is not the norm. That is one of the reasons why certified notes are important They get sealed in archival holders, minimizing the aging and toning effects by not being exposed to the elements, and it also gives the collector reassurance as to its authenticity and grade (INA COINS, 2010)

Warning: Some very white and super clean examples exist, but, upon close examination, they were nothing more than modern reproductions.

2009-08-05T23:19:00.004+08:00

Approximately 7" x 11" as seen in first image. About 14 1/4" fully extended. This item is over 132 years old.

In 1857, a U.S. patent was issued for the design of a typesetting machine invented by Timothy Alden of New York (No. 18,175). This is the first such machine that actually operated. The type was arranged in cells around the circumference of a horizontal wheel. As the wheel revolved, several receivers also started to rotate. The desired type was picked up and dropped in proper order in a line.

The Alden family was the sixth in descent from John Alden, of "Mayflower" fame. Timothy Alden invented a composing and distributing machine. His idea was to arrange the type in cells around the circumference of a horizontal wheel. By the rotation of the wheel, several receivers are also made to rotate, and these pick up the proper types from their respective cells. His brother, Henry W. Alden, made many improvements after his death in 1858 (Ref.: Scripophily.com).
