The stamp den

Cozy chairs, bookcases stocked with favorite mysteries, reference sources, and a well lighted table for the closer examination of those "little bits of paper".

We hope you enjoyed reading the online stamp mysteries. Why not take a tour through our "Stamp Album"? If you haven't done so yet, you will enjoy reading The Devil's Glossary... But be forewarned, dear philatelists among you, that very few will emerge unsinged...

Each of the four stamps shown below is linked to a brief introduction to one of the twenty-five intrigues and enigmas you will find in The Mystery Box. The link also features a slightly larger and more vividly displayed image of the stamp that inspired the tale. There are also links to full-screen JPEG (large) images which are quite beautiful.
