About Me 

    I began collecting stamps in 1956 at the age of eleven.  Over the intervening years my interests have changed from collecting exclusively U.S. material to include a wide range of diverse and interesting topics.     

     In 1977,  I decided to give topical or thematic collecting a try and focused on the subject of  Birds.  Now, some 30 years later my interest in bird stamps is as strong as ever and my reference collection numbers well over 39,000 items.  In addition to the conventional bird stamps so abundantly produced by the U.P.U. members, I collect locals, various seals and postal stationery. 

    The main purpose of this site is to assist other bird stamp collectors in identifying some of the more unusual material available on the philatelic market.  I am not a stamp dealer.  Over the years, however,  I have built up a rather large accumulation of duplicates.  In fact, I have a whole room full of stamps and covers.  Check out my stamp room by clicking on the thumbnails below.

         If you are looking for a difficult to find single or set,  just ask.  I may just have that elusive stamp you are looking for.  I probably have something in just about every imaginable topic.
