**********************************************

Issue of GARGANTUA, fishmonger from the town of Lorient. Seems to have specialized in herrings, a major staple in the French diet, along with frogs and snails. Right there, I think you can see why Obama's priority is to improve relations with the Chinese. Altho, to be fair, the Chinese eat more Duck's Feet than any other people.

This is the scarce French type, color-printed on ferrous metal. They are prone to rusting and the "paint" scrapes off the surface rather easily. I think I would rate this piece "VF", overall.

The excellent website Les Timbres-Monnaie de France gives a valuation of Eur.180, albeit for nicer condition. Typically, the valuations are low.

One of the joys of Encased Postage is the range of unusual businesses represented. I think this is the first time I've sold a herring-related token. Well, leave it to the French.

Why can't the different nations of the world just eat like Americans? I'm sure if the French would stop bragging about their Garlic-&-Snails-infused sex lives long enough to  eat a few CORN DOGS, we would all live in peace and harmony.

To those of you from eBay-France, who usually skip over the English portions of lot descriptions, now you know what you have been missing. You probably can understand why I am not allowed on Chinese eBay.  

NO RESERVE!!

USA customers can easily pay in dollars. I will correct the postage--Ask first, please.

Please check the bottom of this page for direct links to my other Encased Postage on eBay this week. I expect to list 200-250 pieces this year, so if you are interested, please make me a “Favorite Seller”.

Postage is $3 insured in the USA, $13 (Air-Registered) overseas. Will combine shipping. An additional Encased Stamp usually costs you NOTHING extra in postage, even on overseas packages, Items may be examined and may be picked up BY APPOINTMENT in my street-level Manhattan store.
