Very interesting. My mother was born in Israel, in Tel-Aviv in 1932. She started me on stamps in 1972 with Israeli stamps and French stamps, for I was born in Paris. I collected 8 years in Paris, 12 years in Los Angeles ( 2nd collection), and in 1992, went to Israel to burry my mother and stayed in Israel 29 years. I started a 3rd stamp collection which I brought back to France where I reside now. My sister gives me some stamps, but is not a stamp collector. Neither are my nieces. But I love it...after 51 years, I suppose, you, gentlemen, would have guessed it. The countries I collect are China and Hong-Kong...not the expansive ones, and I have been given stamp collection since I have been in Israel. Thanks for the video. David

Thank you for showing the first Israel set, you don´t see them quite often. I have from the first set some values, but not the expensive 500/1000. I do not active collect Israel , main reason is that I can´t read them. From the history side especially the "old" ones are interesting. Palestine: First time I saw the blue stamp, nice looking. But for this you need the literature like you showed. If you don´t have this I think it is difficult. Stamps from the later sets are especially cancelled cheap and not too seldom. But I think to collect these issues you have to especialize the stamp like the collector did. I liked it.

[@StampAuctions]

Yes, those top values are really rare and expensive although you can pick them up in used condition - without the tabs attached - for low prices.

Given the circumstances of production, that Israeli set is really most handsome. The Palestine stamps are gorgeous, too. Fascinating viewing. 👍

I have used issues. Very interesting issues as it did not state the name rather "the Hebrew postage" at the bottom right in Arabic. Not sure what it said in Hebrew!?

The same

Very interesting for me as my father was born in Jerusalem in 1936, on his birth certificate issued by the British Mandate of Palestine Health Dept about 1944 there is a a green 10 mils Revenue stamp. Aside from treasuring the birth certificate I value too the revenue stamp as it is the only philatelic item I have from my father's years born and raised there until they migrated to the US in 1949-1950.

[@StampAuctions]

That really is a personal treasure, and from an epicentre of 20th Century history too.

@@StampAuctions If you would like to see a scan of it would gladly send it. One day I have to discuss with my brother a better way to properly archive it.
