Soprano Saxophone
The soprano saxophone is a higher-register variety of the saxophone, a woodwind instrument invented in the 1840s. The soprano is the third smallest member of the saxophone family, which consists (from smallest to largest) of the soprillo, sopranino, soprano, alto, tenor, baritone, bass, contrabass saxophone and tubax. Soprano saxophones are the smallest and thus highest-pitched saxophone in common use. More infos Wikipedia

Meter Marks
Postage meters first appeared experimentally at the end of the 19th century and came into general use worldwide starting in the 1920s. By the 1960s more mail was being franked by postage meter than with traditional adhesive stamps. The trend continues today as mechanical postage meters are displaced by newer and more versatile digital franking machines and systems.
In 2005 Joel Hawkins and Rick Stambaugh published The International Postage Meter Stamp Catalog, in 2008 it was followed by a supplement. Text in italic letters point out the used machines. For more information see https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/International_Postage_Meter_Stamp_Catalog
