Palestine 1st E.E.F. Series with Fiscal Handstamp

Stamp collecting is a huge hobby for collectors throughout the world. It is estimated that in the United States alone up to 20 million people indulge in the hobby. You may be more interested in swimming or playing games at www.partypoker.com as a hobby but you can't deny how beautiful these stamps are. They also come from a country full of history so they are quite rich in aesthetic, historic, and even investment value.

The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, which is more commonly called Jordan, is mostly made up of the Arabian Desert. The country borders with Palestine, Israel, Syria and Iraq, all countries that have had their fair share of controversies. Jordan is interesting as over the years it has seen a whole number of civilizations. We believe these stamps will evoke some part of Jordan's rich history for you.
