Chuck the PO loves to sell stamps. I bet if they were approached they would
produce brand specific tractor stamps. Maybe an AC WD45, JD R, Oliver 70,
ect.
Also there is a way now to make your own stamps with your own photos. Lynn
is trying to figure it out now to do a stamp with a family photo on it.
When she does I'll get her to show me how and let the list know.

Subject: [AT] Tractor Restoration On Front Page Of Wall Street Journal
Folks,
As the New York Times did several years ago, the Wall Street Journal
has finally acknowledged the world of tractor restoration. But this time we
got
front page coverage. In the Jan 3, 2007 edition of the WSJ, there is a nice
article
about Mr. Kristin Gall, a farmer from Ethel, Mo., who searched out and
restored
his grandfather's Farmall 1206. It even has before and after photos of the
restoration and mentions a separate JD tractor resurrection and the Red
Power
Roundup. In case you subscribe to the WSJ online, it can be found at
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB116779347247365603.html?mod=hps_us_pageone
There is also a '57 picture of three Gall gents astride their new Farmall
450, and
the photo looked familiar. Perhaps I have seen it in a old Red Power or
Antique
Tractor issue.
Now that Wall Street is on to us, it seems time to get the USPO to do a
Classic
American Tractors sheet of stamps. They recently did a nice one on US
motorcycles,
and they only have half the wheels and history. Do any of you know where to
get such
a campaign started?
