My name is Jim Cason and I’m a retired career diplomat, and spent
Several years as a youngster living in Port Lyautey (now Kenitra) in then French Morocco on a French-American jointly run naval air base. I began collecting stamps with allowance money and accumulated a nice collection of stamps. I stopped upon entering college and, now retired, resumed collecting French Moroccan stamps. I have mostly mint and lack only 4-5 super expensive early issues. I recently bought a nice almost complete collection at auction from France so have quite a few duplicates. I plan to replace my used with mint stamps going forward.

Welcome - French Morocco is one of my favourite countries to collect - just lacking a few of the more expensive ones myself (like those P.P. overprints...).

Hi Jim to a great Forum. In the late 1950's I spent a year in French Morocco, near Port Lyautey and Rabat, on an Air Force communications site (south of Nouasseur). Since I lived in the state of Maine, I spoke a little French (combination of High School and French Canadian). The USAF decided that it would send me there because of that. I had to learn French all over again. It was interesting as I had friends that lived in the Rabat Medina. I saw more of "non tourist" Morocco than most Americans at that time. I collected stamps and started a collection of Morocco (there was a stamp dealer in the Medina). That morphed into a France collection. When I married a Colombian I sold my France and collected Colombia. Jerry B |

Welcome! And good to find more Morocco collectors. Have you looked into the local stamps from the period before the French protectorate was established?

Welcome Jim
Le Maroc (French Morocco) was an interesting custom album to do and I gave it to a young Moroccan swimmer/student/family friend for his graduation.
Enjoy the Forum !

Welcome! My sister spent 2 years in Morocco with Peace Corp and loved it. I don't know much about French-Moroccan stamps though. She didn't save any stamps from her time there. I was a little disappointed in her but I didn't collect at that time so I can't be too hard on her.

Are any of you collecting Spanish Moroccan or local posts? I have found most of the local posts. As for Spanish posts, do you mean Spanish Morocco after 1912, or the Spanish offices throughout Morocco from the earlier period? I am collecting the postmarks of all the foreign offices but have made more headway with the French and German postal systems than the Spanish or British ones. |
