JR's Portfolio

 

Hello and welcome to my Philatelic Portfolio.  This section is under construction and will ultimately contain examples from my collection, information on the areas I collect, items available for trade or sale, and want lists.  I will try to post new information on a monthly basis and expect it will take considerable time before I have representative exhibits of the areas I collect.    Please recognize that in most instances I am only trying to show a selected example or two in order to give other collectors an idea of types of Items I am interested in.  There are also some areas that are hard to describe or explain and sometimes I show  pictures to give you a better idea.  There are some areas where I am a very advanced collector and others where I only have a few items. Please feel free to contact me if you have anything in the following areas that you are interested in selling, trading,  just discussing or you have any questions.  Please also feel free to contact me if you think I have incorrectly described an item -- there will be times I show an item to get get comments and learn more about it.

My main collecting interests are as follows:

19th and 20th Century United States postal stationery

Covers showing postal history of small and remote U.S. Islands in the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea.

Postal and Revenue stamps, covers, postal stationery  and postal history of areas under Allied or United States military occupation or administration.  I collect items that show operation of both military and civil mail systems.  My primary emphasis is on items intended for and/or that show usage by civilians after WWII.  These include, but are not limited to,  Austria, France,  Germany, Italy (including Trieste Zones A & B), Japan and Korea
