I would never have imagined that there were this many stamps depicting a handshake. Since I have gone about as far as I can with my U.S. collection, I need to come up with a topical to start collecting. I'll have to think of something like this - your usual butterflies, birds, etc. just don't excite me.

For the Day of Peace, 2017; issued by the United Nations, Vienna. The Day of Peace was just last Friday, the 21st of September. Peace written in several languages and decorated with flowers from around the world. The colors of the two hands are quite unusual.


Hello, Wendy, Welcome to the community! For many years I have been collecting hands on stamps and it is one of the very rewarding topicals because there are so many different aspects. The subtopic "Handshakes" has a lot of history in it. Look at the thread "Hands on Stamps" - you will find a great spectrum of subjects. Good Luck, Kris
