| Thanks for the Forgeries reference. I bookmarked it for future reading. I was surprised a few months ago when I started to find quite a few stamps of little or no value which were reprints or forgeries. Now I'll start suspecting postmarks as well.  |

When I Googled interesting postmarks in Google Images, they just came up. I quite like the effect and would not mind having one of those all framed up and on my wall!
And what a great way to spend a year travelling around! Imagine doing Europe one year, then Asia and the Americas (that would probably take a few years) Africa and of course The land of Oz!
...where is that lotto ticket?

| Some of the reprints were actually done by the Govt. There are several issues which were re-printed by the colonial govts in Vic.,NSW, Tas, SA. Some of these reprints are worth as much as the originals.
One of the easiest ways to forge a postmark is to use the edge of a coin. So if you see something described as ,'indistinct circular cancel...... BE WARY'.. |

| In January, 1968 my dad retired after 24 years service in the United States Navy and we were at the time living at his last duty station, San Diego, California.
Upon his retirement we packed up the house, put it all onto a Mayflower moving truck and waved goodbye to our worldly goods as they headed east to our new home in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
My parents packed a few things into the car - a green 1966 Plymouth Belevedre and hit Route 66. We too six days driving from California into Oklahoma along the infamous route stopping where and when we pleased seeing whatever caught our interest. We stayed in roadside motel rooms as we felt like it including one room shaped like a teepee. We played in the snow in Flagstaff, Arizona... visited the Grand Canyon and meteor crater in Arizona. At some point that I've lost to memory we turned south out of Oklahoma and into Texas and spent the night in Dallas. The next day we would make the drive into Baton Rouge. I've never again been on Route 66.
It was a wonderful six days of adventure, highway and joy at taking in all things American. My dad was retired and we would never have to say goodbye to him again... no more cruises, no more deployments to Vietnam. It was a time I remember with great fondness and remains dear to my heart to this day.
My little sister would tragically die 8 years later and our family would never again be complete so we didn't realize back in 1968 just how little time we had left together as a whole family but for those six days at the beginning of one of the most tumultuous and difficult years in our nation's history all was right in the world. |
