Tok Islands on North Korea
My previous blarticle on a set of North Korean stamps, raised an issue of finding genuinely used stamps from North Korea. It got me thinking that I have a ton of CTO stuff but haven't seen much that has gone through the mail. Then I came across the following sheet of 3 stamps with label.

Togo Goes Hunting
On May 25, 1975 the Republic of Togo issued a set of 4 stamps (2 regular, 2 airmail) depicting hunting scenesand are inscriped "CHASSE AU TOGO" (Hunting in Togo).
This set appeals to me, not because I am a hunter (I tried it once and that was enough), but the simplicity in design and what I feel is the clean look of the designs. The only awkward design element is the lack of scale when you compare the animal sizes to the hunters.
The stamps were printed by lithography and are perforated 13 x 13½.
