Some stamps from Greece

I received a small package from Greece the other day and was pleasantly surprised at how fast it arrived and how striking the stamps are. It was mailed on the 21st and arrived on the 27th.

Thanks for stopping by and have a beautiful and safe day!

Men in matching caps.

Canon F-1 with FD80-200mm f/4 on Kodachrome 25. The light was fading fast and ASA 25 doesn’t work well when hand held during telephoto photography.

German Beer Stein – help!

March 29, 2021March 29, 2021Chris and Carol Leave a comment

This beautiful stein has been in my family for well over 70 years – growing up in New York it was just always there in our house and later in my room (I think I kept coins in it for a while). I don’t know the how and why we had it other than my grandmother was of German descent and my mom was Slovakian with her parents born in Austria-Hungry in the late 1800s.

Is it pre-war (doubtful) or post-war (likely)? What I can tell. It appears to have “Germany” in a circle on the bottom along with “1/2 L” and the number “10”. On the side of the stein opposite the inside part of the handle it has “2021” which I’ll assume is the mold or cast number (kind of ironic that it’s the current year too).

Any help would be greatly appreciated such as the maker and the region it was made in. – Chris

And now a few words on this Wordless Wednesday… can you identify this symbol? How about 1967 as a clue?

If you can’t be home (U.S. Navy) I can’t think of a better place to be in the Summer of 1986… or any year for that matter!
