Introduction

Hi everybody , thanks for having me :)
Im jake in Pa but from Scotland,Glasgow of late.Im always asked what the nickname means so ill say up front.
What is Glasgow famous for - rain
I had to make up a nickname one wet afternoon and id been soaked twice that day.So I got my internet nickname.
Ive been here a year this week and just got this neat new computer , why not educate myself I thought.
Recently I was given a very old stamp album with even older stamps inside from all over the world.It was so interesting looking through them , a real history lesson in pictures and it raised a few smiles and surprised me too on several occasions.
I'll try and not be too much of a pest asking questions , im happy to do research and thought it better to join and participate rather than lurk and read silently.
Winter not so far away its a good time to hit the books and learn about this stamp album of mine.

Welcome to the stamp forum..thanks for not just being a lurker..people are helpful here..as they always say....tell us about your collection..whats your favorites ? British Commonwealth ? U.S. ? everything ?

No real favorites but if I had to choose id have to say some of the more historical pictorial stamps I like best.Other interesting ones are countries that no longer exist and I hadnt even heard of.
They are all pretty cool and im sure they hold some surprises for me.


Ooops edited to say , thanks for the welcome.

Enjoy your time here and ask away on yoru questions we all learn from the questions that are asked. Please post some pictures when you can

Thanks for your welcome :) Im sort of learning how to post pics in the postcard section , happened to have a few beautys I've collected or I think so anyway.Id be happy to post a couple of pictures to give you an idea of the task ahead of me regarding learning my stamp album.

The Modern stamp album , check out the airplane :) I think Wilbur Wright was piloting that one.

What a lot of fun to go through an old album, eh?

Ask the questions, you'll get the answers.
