Collection Formed By Richard Frajola
|
|
An exhibit of some of the classic frauds in the field of United States carriers and local posts. Early dealers and some collectors were not content with producing forgeries of many carriers and locals that existed genuine, they often fabricated bogus companies complete with "fantasy" stamp issues. This exhibit is arranged by the date the fantasy post was first reported in the philatelic press. The last page of each post includes a historical summary. Some purported Canada posts are included as well. Also, some genuine are noted as such. This
collection was first shown by me in the early 1990's and has since been
dispersed. The nucleus of the collection was from the reference
collection formed by George Sloane which I added to and organized. The
scans were done from color copies and are not as clear as one might hope
for.
