Without examining its contents, I bought an old stamp album at a local auction a couple of weeks ago. I wouldn't have normally bought such, but the price was so low ($5) that I couldn't resist. The US stamps were the best of the lot, but there were many stamps from other countries as well. I was most intrigued by the hammer and sickle images on the Russian stamps. These date back to just after the Russian Revolution of 1917. Though they're not valuable, they are a reminder of the country's turbulent past.
