There is one thing about having low vision or being blind. My "reading finger" or my only finger I have sensation in a small spot is very sensitive to detail. Since I read in Braille, I decided to try "my hand" at engraved stamps. Wow! What a fantastic experience. The minute details come alive and there's a picture at the tip of your finger.

re: Engraved Stamps

Can you visualise the image on a stamp, as well as its written content - or do you have to know what the stamp is beforehand? I imagine your sense of touch is considerably more developed than that of a fully-sighted person - engraved stamps should prove a treasure-trove of new experience!

re: Engraved Stamps

I can visualise it without looking at it. When I look at a stamp - I see a blur until I get it very close to my eyes or I put it on the tv with my magnifier. So that blur becomes a real stamp under my finger tip.

It's cool.

re: Engraved Stamps

Kelly,

You might remember me mentioning the OTT-Lite Workstation in another thread. Well I went back to Costco last week to see if they still had it. Typically, they had the light that I had bought and another model but not the workstation.

I shall 'endeavour to persevere'.

re: Engraved Stamps

That's right - I forgot about that. I'm going to look into it.

Thanks!

re: Engraved Stamps

I actually just discovered this "new talent" when I got the 1943 albums because there were American envelope stamps that are fantastically engraved. I'm thinking that may be another new interesting collecting area because I can enjoy them without my eyes. The details in those engravings are amazing!

re: Engraved Stamps

Differentiation of paper type has always been challenge for me. Perhaps your enhanced tactile skills can make short work of such dilemmas!

Perhaps - I've always had a hard time trying to figure out what kind of paper is used. The only one I have down to a science is prelure.
