You guys are posting some really fantastic stuff.
I forgot to mention of my most enduring hobby.....Stamp collecting. My collection consists of postage from almost every country.
Recent years, I have specialized more on U.S. stamps (also uncut sheets), and British Colonials. Here is an example of the latter:
Pitcairn Islands was uninhabited until 1790, when the mutineers of British ship the "Bounty" sought refuge on these Islands. This
set of 10 stamps was issued in 1940 to commemorate the 150th anniversary of that famous event.
I think I learned more about World History and Geography from stamp collecting than I did in in school.
On display here are the very first U.S. stamps. On the 2nd page are the first set of U.S. commemoratives.
