My Canadian Airmail Stamps

View attachment 757 Just wanted to share my complete Canada airmail stamps. They were issued from 1928-1946.

 

very nice, i think i have a few of them myself

 

Thanks, for some reason I love airmail stamps. I was disappointed to learn that GB had only 3 airmail stamps, and they were issued in 2003-04. What a bummer

 

yes we were a bit slow there, may have something to do with the airmail stickers that showed it was due to go to another country lol

 

Most countries dont issue airmail stamps anymore, but the US does. Dont ask me why they do, because you can use any stamps you want to, in place of airmail stamps. On one of the packages I sent you they had a couple of recent airmail stamps on it.

 

i didn't even realize they still issued them. you learn something new everyday.

 

Swish, you can buy them at the US post office site. Also all the new stamps are available too. If you order 1 stamp or a 1000 stamps, the shipping cost is only $1. I normally order all my stamps from the website, so that I dont have to deal with the local post office.

The website is https://shop.usps.com/webapp/wcs/st...splay?langId=-1&storeId=10052&catalogId=10001

 

kris.....Is that the complete set of Canadian Airmail? What other countries have Airmail stamps? I'd like to see any airmail stamps you guys might have

 

Yes its complete, they only issued 9 stamps. Most countries had Airmail stamps. That DVD that I sent you will be able to tell you what countries have airmail stamps. Mexico quit issueing airmails in 1980, and they issued 636 airmail stamps. That would be a collection.... lol

 

the local brach office for my zip sells every stamp, plus "the postal service guide to u.s. stamps", which is updated every year. the branch office for the closest zip does not sell anything but the purple heart forever stamps. and there is another "distribution" center (i forget the technical name) close by, and they don't sell anything. i was just unaware that airmail stamps were still produced. i've never asked about them.

 

If you look at the website, there is a .80cent airmail stamp for this year. Thats the rate to mail a 1 ounce letter to Canada or Mexico.

 

This is a Netherland Airmail stamp I have. I like the triangle design.

 

it used to be 84¢. and they wonder why they are in the red...

 

Lovely set of stamps
