Some fascinating anniversaries in your selection today.
Very old stamps!
The design of the Berlin Academy stamp is stunning.
950 years! Wow. Great stamps.
A diving tower seems a much more useful idea than, say, a ferris wheel!
And German market is definitely a thing to celebrate, especially the Christmas ones.
