Taiwan Pigeon

Since 1949, there is no mail link directly between China mainland and Taiwan, all the mail and packets were transfered by 3rd region(HK, Japan?). On 15th Dec. this year the direct mail link recovered. There are many flights carrying mails and packets between multi ports.

Taiwan issued the ATM named 'Launch of Cross-strait mail links' on 15th Dec. It is interesting till afternoon of 14th, the post office announced the release officially due to politic issue.

Currently all the machines used black ribbon, on 26th Dec. there will be green print for celebrating new year show by Chungli post office, and on 27th the Tainan post office will use blue on machine number 088 for its 10 annv. of Philiately Service Center.

Just expecting the red print soon. :-]

Faroe Island 2008 arrived

The FDCs I ordered just arrived several days ago, looks beautiful.

DK new 'machine'

On 7th Nov. Denmark issued unique franking label for stamp fair on Fredereicia 2008. This time, it used new 'machine'. Check below image,
We can the font is different from ATM from post office(Bridge serials), it is smaller. At the traditional bridges from Philately Service, it is more higher than from post office.

After compare the issue from Faroe Island, it is same likely.

Traditional serial number of DK ATM have no 'lower case letter', but the Frederecia issue has, and on the last bit of serial number, traditional ATM is 0..9 and A..Z, but the Frederecia issue has 'a..z' include above.

So conclusion are

1) Frederecia issue involve lower case letter on serial number

2) Fredereica issue introduce 'a..z' on last bit of serial number

3) Fredereica issue have new font than old issues

After inqurie Philately Service of DK, they would not install 'Bridge II' rolls on the new machine before the Frederecia label phase out.

The post card of Frederecia issue.
