Vilnius 1940


Today I would like to present you an item that belongs to Nick, a philatelist from UK who is a reader of this blog and interested in postal history of Vilnius. Wow... a postcard sent in 1940 from the Soviet occupied Vilnius 10 to Warschau (German name for Warszawa) in German occupied Poland! and in addition, it is registered. Such a nice cover!! You must see his neatly presented sheet with a commentary much more interesting than mine.

Right click and open a new tab or window to have a better look!

Nick has been collecting stamps of the Baltic Republics which became the origin of his interest in Vilnius. He also has his own outstanding blog presenting the postal history of Somerset, a county in south west England: somersetph.blogspot.co.uk It is very NEATLY done and worth taking a look. (Nick, thank you for your kind permission to post on this blog!)

In contrast to his, my presentation of my collection looks like a joke... Perhaps, I should start to think about putting in a more presentable way. The question is, do I have such good taste? hm...

My collection stocked in photo album bought in "Billa" a supermarket nearby
