Stamp collector, art collector, historical document collector; a typewriter. Not necessarily in that order.

There are only three of these aircraft in existence today. This is the beginning story of one them.

I do encourage anyone with a love of history and research to join me in a slow thread (to solve a mystery).

Ok, I admit it. I've been going through classics withdrawals all day - like a guy standing in line at a coffee shop on doctor's orders to avoid caffeine.

But, onward....back to future.

Hmm. that's a great line. wonder if it's been taken.

For Pete's sake!

What did Google AI call my method of collecting again?

A Cathedral of Clutter? A Monument to the Misplaced?

I forget.

Please enjoy this poultry/chicken stamp as I go in search of the post WW2 Ocean liner material.

The search for modern history will continue...

Nome Alaska. 1970's.
The Global PenPals program.

The recipient of this letter gave me this along with other Alaska material. I returned most of it - telling her, "Your family will want this!"

Her Dad has an extensive collection of Wells Fargo covers.

I don't need no trouble from the Wild West.

Oh my there are some great adverts in the stamp book I bought today. I can't help but think that the last one was incorrectly included as it was in the part that only had philatelic adverts

One of my favorite kind of notes from the past. And from the look of the post it note paper,...not too far in the past.

Still, I do love a mystery.
