Foreign Stamp Identifier

Mystic’s Foreign Stamp Identifier is a neat tool to help you determine what country a stamp is from, and how it should be listed in your album. And it’s easy to use. Just pick out a symbol, word or sign on the stamp you want to identify. Find it in the index, and you will see the correct country’s name. If you don’t find the first words you look up, just keep trying different ones until you find an indexing word.
