Description
An assortment of old postage stamps removed from mail I've received. They are mostly from the 70s through the 90s but some are older than that. Most are commemoratives honoring significant people, dates, historical events, or symbols in history.Philately is the study of stamps and postal history and other related items. It also refers to the collection, appreciation and research activities on stamps and other philatelic products. Philately involves more than just stamp collecting, which does not necessarily involve the study of stamps. It is possible to be a philatelist without owning any stamps. For instance, the stamps being studied may be very rare, or reside only in museums.
I collected stamps as a child, years before I'd ever purchased my first postcard. While I no longer actively collect postage stamps I do enjoy looking at them.
Vintage item from my post card and ephemera collections, free stock for yours.
Use however you like. Enjoy!

It was such a great and lifetime hobby. I was really into it. Too bad the market swung over
to 'Sports Cards'. What a drag....
Thanks for sharing....richard

Nowadays the larger shows I attend are all ephemera - everything from rock posters and matchbooks to stamps and cards under one roof. Even some sport and nonsports cards. Postcard people and stamp people (and to a lesser degree, poster and record people) have needed to combine resources together to book the meeting rooms at hotels - both philately and deltiology are losing people, the boomers are dying. I concur about a great and lifetime hobby.... t is a little history and a little art, and of course the thrill of the hunt is fun too.
P.S. you have a beautiful gallery! I love all the birds!

THANKS for a little history on all that!!! It WAS a great hobby,...
even tho I never got back (the $) I put into it. It was very educating.....
And that made me a better world citizen. Baseball cards DO NOT do that.
On my FB timeline wall, I'm sharing a video which shows that very few
Americans don't have a clue WHERE North Korea is....sad!!!
