Yes Phil that's what I mean - they seem to fit in very nicely with my UN collection and the officials from Switzerland as well. It beefs out the UN in US BOB.

Good choice to add the Swiss officials.
(Sorry, as Switzerland is my largest and most favorite collection, I'm biased lol
)
There's a lot of variety in those BoB offerings. I have a lot of empty holes in that section of my Swiss collection.

i collect Guatemala and several specialized books are needed to cover their back of book. I saw these(not Guatemala but i figured they fit in) in a dealers miscellaneous material at a small show in Vermont and could not snap them up fast enough..they are not rare in unused condition but a block of 6 looks nice.

I'll change the thread a bit - your stamps fascinated me so I did a bit of "work" on line. There are a few on E-Bay and an average price seems to be about 10 Euros. It's considered to be a cinderella now, but according to one article I found Scott's recognized it as a "stamp" in the 1903 edition. There is supposedly an article about these stamps in the July 2004 Scott's magazine. Also there seems to be the opinion that these were never actually used since used copies don't seem to exist yet! Great stamps Phil, I don't collect Mexico, but it would be interesting to find one!

I recently decided to add the Swiss officials for the UN and League of Nations to my UN section I call part of my US BOB. There's also a series of Dutch officials that seem to fit as well. I know they are technically not US BOB but they seem to fit quite nicely with my complete to 1986 UN collection. Does anyone else out there feel the same and is there anything else I might add? I find the many BOB stamps very interesting including the protectorates like Guam, Cuba, Canal Zone, UN, Philippines and Puerto Rico. For some reason Hawaii is never considered except in the specialized US catalog which also includes Danish West Indies and The Ryukyu Islands. Should I also include them? Does anyone else?
