With the 1st anniversary of the commencement of Stampboards.com fast approaching, it seems appropriate to start a topic paying tribute to our founder, the hirsute one, Glen Stephens.

So here it is, please post your favourite stamps featuring beards :D :D :D

To start us off, here is a beauty on a stamp issued by the Republic of China in 1962 to mark the 84th birthday of Yu Yu jen ... newspaper reporter, revolutionary leader and co-worker of Sun Yat-sen:

Somewhat neater is this one from Argentina, featuring Juan Vucetich, the inventor of the Argentine system of fingerprinting:

Fun idea for a thread, Peter 8)

Here's a beard stamp and story from one of our Stamp Trivia quizzes.

Some Stampboarders will recall the controversy about this stamp:

Often overlooked, and often cleverly hidden, "secret marks" can be found in many stamp designs from a variety of countries. Some stamp issues will have small design alterations that help distinguish reissued designs.

Others may have secret imagery, text, numbers, dates, etc. worked into the design by the stamp designer, perhaps officially - or perhaps not.


A famous example of a hidden design NOT approved or authorised by the USPS was on the 1986 $1 USA issue featuring Rabbi Bernard Revel.

The designer of the 1986 $1 Rabbi Bernard Revel issue, engraved a very small, and hard to see, "Star of David" in the Rabbi's beard, in the moustache area.

The US Post Office prohibits such markings on stamp designs, and the Engraver was suspended for a year.

Cheers
Margo

Have any of the board members ever seen John Sinfields,award winning collection called "Whiskers," :?:

it is a marvellous collection of facial hair,on stamps, covering the history and styles of beards and Moustaches,, he later expanded it to include shaving items as well.

Here's a case of the instant beard.

'Columbus In Sight Of Land' is clean shaven...

By the time he'd actually landed, he had developed a beard!

Maharaja Kerala Varma II of Cochin decided to grow a beard, and stopped shaving a couple of days ago (SG 92b), but Maharaja Sarwant Singh of Bijawar (SG 5b) has been at it for a while now.

I had the same general impression, but Bijawar was the only one I could find with a beard. Moustaches on the other hand ... everyone has one. 1960s revisited.

Some great Oz beard stamps too (as well as Ozstamps, of course).

What about One Pound Jimmy...what a great stamp!



Image

Background:
Gwoya Jungarai, born in 1895, apparently gained his nickname from his catchphrase. Whenever a white man asked how much he wanted for one of his boomerangs, he would reputedly reply, "One pound, boss".

He first came to public attention when a photographer, Roy Dunstan, took a striking portrait that was used as the cover of Walkabout magazine in 1936. In 1950 that photograph was used to make philatelic history. Australia Post issued two stamps - 8 pence and half a crown - called "Aborigine". For the first time an actual portrait of an indigenous person had been used on an Australian stamp.

Thanks Margo and Harry. Must admit I've always like the clean design of the one pound Jimmy stamp.

Here are a couple of neat beards from Finland:

Margo and Harry,

Thanks for sharing that background on One Pound Jimmy.
Have this stamp in my collection but with the background about this stamp,
it always adds a whole new dimension to the stamp
- I think this is what I like most about stamps - the story behind it.

Cheers
Andrew
