Going back to the Benjamin Franklin item (post #136), I wonder how many know that at one time he worked in a shop on
Saffron Hill, near Farringdon tube station.

As a comp, not as a minder tho' back in the US he had been both.

Here's a "poster stamp" which could be stuck onto an envelope to advertise a business, alongside the regular postage stamp.

I know very little about it, having just spotted it for sale on eBay. It's from Denmark, and it appears to be for a business that handles Funditor equipment.

I'm guessing it's from the 1950s and I love the stylised illustration.
