| EDITION 546 - 12/10/2024 |
| This Saturday is a workday at the library. |
| This is being sent out early as I had an error in last week's Nooze. The Maplewood Stamp Club will meet this month on the 19th, not the 12th as I previously reported. All members are encouraged to bring a holiday treat to share. There will be an auction. |
| We are looking for a new secretary at the library. Please contact me if you are interested. |
| This week I have a Christmas postcard for your viewing pleasure. Like many cards and covers it may have a different appeal to different collectors. First thing of note is that is a Santa postcard by artist Ellen H. Clapsaddle. It was cancelled on Christmas day in 1908 and finally it has a tied WX3 Christmas Seal on it, and it is the scarcer perf. 12 variety of the stamp. |
