In times before electronic mailing and without an own telephone (in times of GDR before 1990 was this reality) I have written letters and I have got letters, 100 per year and more. And there were so very different stamps on letters (and later also inside of letters) and told to me small stories about history and peoples, landscapes and animals of USA. And some day I did not longer quash the envelopes, I started to collect the stamps - and now after 25 years I have a very nice filled stamp collection of USA and I learned more and more about the USA - each time a bit more with a new stamp. Now I try to fill the missing stamps especially of early years however this will be a never ending story.

Here are a few pictures.

My stamp albums have got their place direct below of a part of my railroad books.
