...or tourist postal stamps. Anyone have any of these. I'd forgotten about this until I was just leafing through my cindy collection. Sold to Scandanavian tourists and good only to destinations in Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Finland. But stampcollectingblog.com tells it better. So check out his site, and show us yours if you got... www.stampcollectingblog.com/swedish-turistporto-tourist-postage-stamps.php |

What I collect: Cinderellas and some Ephemera from Great Britain, France and Israel plus a few beautiful bits from elsewhere !! Topical interests include Flags & Judaica, the latter with an emphasis on the Jewish National Fund.

Not only do I not have any, I have never seen them before. Interesting. I must be living a sheltered life !  Londonbus1 |

How do you think I feel, Michael. Here I am quoting from an experts blog, and that expert is a member of this very forum.
scb, I'm sure you can tell us much more about these. Thanks for the terrific, informative blog!

Trust me. Like most worldwide collectors I'm not expert of anything. I just know a bit about this and that, and learn something new every time I land on something unusual  Sadly I don't know much more of these than what's stated in the Facit catalogues. There are some semi-specialized webpages about these (such as kjell.smult.com/Turistporto.htm that displays entire booklets, postal usage etc). If looking to buy these, then Sweden (/swedish online auctions such as Tradera) is the obious place, as most holiday greetings landed there. Like most back of book items these are pretty cheap stuff. -k- |
