Slania Crazy!: June 2015
http://slaniacrazy.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Collecting the Works of Czeslaw Slania. Monday, 22 June 2015. Czeslaw Slania worked with the postage service of the United States just a small number of times, but the limited collaboration produced some truly wonderful stamps. In this blog I'll be taking a good look at the 1993 US stamp depicting Dean Acheson. First, let's look at the full stamp, and then I'll look a bit closer at some of the details that I find captivating. What areas of this stamp draw your eye? Sunday, 21 June 2015. Until tonight I c...

Slania Crazy!: May 2015
http://slaniacrazy.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Collecting the Works of Czeslaw Slania. Sunday, 31 May 2015. I Found.A Possible Flaw! Over the past few weeks I've been working on completing Slania's 1952 Poland stamps. I have found gathering this set on my tight budget quite the challenge! Which is part of a 3 stamp set entitled: Day of Shipyard Workers. The following is an image from the seller's page so the quality isn't the best, but it's clear enough to see what I'm talking about. When I get the stamp I'll do a hi-res scan of it. Labels: * I Found.

Slania Crazy!: About Me
http://slaniacrazy.blogspot.com/p/about-me.html
Collecting the Works of Czeslaw Slania. Hello to all fellow Czeslaw Slania collectors out there! My name is Matt. I live in the New England region of northern NSW Australia in a beautiful little town called Uralla. Uralla is famous for its connection to the bushranger Captain Thunderbolt! What first caught my eye were ships on stamps, particularly sailing ships. I collected as many ship stamps as I could (it was a bit more difficult in those days before the advent of the internet). I started with...As in...

Slania Crazy!: 1952 Airmail Stamps
http://slaniacrazy.blogspot.com/2015/07/1952-airmail-stamps.html
Collecting the Works of Czeslaw Slania. Saturday, 1 August 2015. In 1952 Poland issued a set of four Airmail stamps. Czeslaw Slania was responsible for engraving two of these stamps. As all Slania buffs know, he was known occasionally to strategically place the names of important people in his life in his stamps. A close look at one of the stamps in this set reveals not one but two names! Well, first let's take a look at the stamps. An Ilyushin flying over Polish freighters. An Ilyushin flying over Warsaw.

Slania Crazy!: King Gustav VI Adolf
http://slaniacrazy.blogspot.com/2015/04/king-gustav-vi-adolf.html
Collecting the Works of Czeslaw Slania. Friday, 10 April 2015. King Gustav VI Adolf. About six months ago, when I first let the thought of collecting Slania engraved stamps start to drift freely about in my head, a stamp friend offered me a few used Slania stamps. At that point I hadn't firmly decided that I was going to embark on such an epic collecting quest. But it was a nice offer and I happily said yes. Now when I received the stamps I assumed that they were all. They were a welcomed gift. My resear...

Slania Crazy!: April 2015
http://slaniacrazy.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Collecting the Works of Czeslaw Slania. Friday, 17 April 2015. I Found.An Awesome Catalogue. The title of this post should really read 'Friend Found', as I was sent a link to this marvellous catalogue by a stamp buddy. But I'm sure he won't mind me posting it here. If you are like me then you really like to browse through a catalogue with actual pages. I was shocked and nicely surprised when I was sent a link to a catalogue entitled Czeslaw Slania: Catalogue of Works. Let's do a bit of a review of it here.

Slania Crazy!: March 2015
http://slaniacrazy.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Collecting the Works of Czeslaw Slania. Monday, 30 March 2015. I Muse. On Display Issues. Perusing my collection I have found, to my delight, that I already own a large number of the stamps Slania engraved for Great Britain. One of my favourites is the 1984 Bicentenary of the First Mail Coach Run, Bath and Bristol to London. I have this set in a se-tenant strip of 5, which I think is beautiful. But herein lay my dilemma! How do I display the strip in a way that is pleasing to the eye? So what do I do?

Slania Crazy!: I Found...Lovely Birds
http://slaniacrazy.blogspot.com/2015/06/i-foundlovely-birds.html
Collecting the Works of Czeslaw Slania. Sunday, 21 June 2015. I Found.Lovely Birds. Until tonight I couldn't really justify getting the stamp. After all it would sit in one of my boxes with nowhere to go. Not a fitting place for such a great stamp. But last night I happened to be looking at the stamps Slania engraved for Monaco in 1993 and lo and behold . the bird stamp that I love in a set! I had found a slot for the stamp. Hurray! By now you are probably saying: "What is this set he is raving about?

In May I wrote a very excited blog sharing the news that I had purchased a beautiful Slania catalogue. Click HERE. To view the blog.
