Newspaper Index proudly presents: The first stamps from Palestine
Today I cleaned up my office and I found some stamps I bought in a newly opened post office in Jericho back in 1994. I do not collect stamps and the only reason I bought them was to use them for some postcards. The problem was that they could not be used since Israel had rejected the first printed palestinian stamps which had the value in MILS and obliged the Palestinian Authority to overprint them with FILS. That meant that the stamps could be sold but not used and here they are. Of course the man in post office first told me that the stamps could not be used after I paid for them…
I later discovered that these two stamps are from the very first two series in the postal history of Palestine.
If you would like to see the stamps i high quality write me an email: hh@newspaperindex.com
