Olympic postmark - Singapore

Joseph schooling made Singaporeans proud by bagging the first ever Olympic Gold medal in the 100m men's butterfly stroke at the recently held Rio Olympics 2016.

He also made an Olympic record by finishing it in 50.39 seconds.  To honour this hero SingPost (Singapore post) introduced two commemorative Postmark designs.

I am lucky enough to get one design featuring a gold medal with the title "Singapore's 1st Olympic Gold", today.  Thanks Joel for sending this beautiful cover with the postmark.

The other post mark features the record time inside the timer.

Hope I will be lucky to get this one too.

Rio Olympics 2016 : Brazil

Rio Olympics, the 31st Summer Olympics is going to be held in Brazil from August 5th to 21st, this year(2016).  To commemorate this event Brazil issued several stamps and Miniature sheets in 2015 including the below two Miniature sheets which  Ms. Jose Paulo sent me for our swap.  It has Braille inscription on it, Nice addition to my Odd and Unusual stamps collection.  

Thanks a lot, Jose Paulo.
