These are two French stamps that are the oldest I have. I show them with the postmark because it was very beautiful… now they are separated because the postcards are not mine, they were borrowed so I can take the stamp… but the image of the postmark and the stamp together will remain in the blog.
The postmark of this one is from 1966 !
This one has a postmark from 1962 !

Stamps issued with the new prices on January of 2007, each stamp has a dutch symbol on it. The one I got is the blue one with the skate that in dutch is called "Klapschaats"... I learned a new word cause when I saw this first I tought it was the name of the guy who designed the stamp.
Inside there was also a stamp of the Queen Beatrice with the value of 39 cents, so this ones is before they changed the rates of internal mail to 44 cents.
