I have created this website to share my love of postal history as well as traditional stamp collecting. I collect Slogans and patriotic postmarks from the United States, Canada, and the World as well as World War I postal history.
So what is a “Postmark”?
Here is the definition from Widipedia:
A postmark is a postal marking made on a letter, package, postcard or the like indicating the date and time that the item was delivered into the care of the postal service. Modern postmarks are often applied simultaneously with the cancellation or killer that marks the postage stamp(s) as having been used (though in some circumstances there may be a postmark without a killer, and sometimes the postmark and killer form a continuous design), and the two terms are often used interchangeably, if incorrectly. Postmarks may be applied by hand or by machines, using methods such as rollers or inkjets, while digital postmarks are a recent innovation.
I hope you enjoy view my life long collection that started when I was around 10-years old.
I am also an avid photographer and included some of my favorite images.
As with any hobby, this is a work in progress.
