Thanks again. So, only one year with that very long stamp (lol), and four years with this stamp and THIS stamp is harder to find? Certainly seems they had time to import more of this stamp. Is it that collectors are just holding onto them?

More like two years with the long stamp and then three years with the shorter. It really just depends on how many were ordered and when. If laws were being passed by 1952 there certainly could have been a slowing down of orders and not like when they first started. It’s hard to say unless more records surface one day.

If by June of 1952 they were being outlawed to anyone under 16 that would have been a hit in the market right there so I’m sure orders were down all around.

One of the old stamps. Some of these were lengthwise and some not.

What a wonderful stamp, and certainly one of the "longest" I've ever seen! This was the original Omega stamp?
