Stamp collecting

Not me, prefer collecting motorcycles. But I think I have some useless WW2 ration stamps inherited from my parents.
 
To be frank (or betty, just to keep things fair), the only stamps I've ever collected were Green Shield back in the day, and further back than that, those from the Brooke Bond tea packets in the days before bags..
 
I thought a philatelist was someone who farted a lot......I'm one of them.
 
I collected stamps when I was a kid then as I aged it became nuts and bolts once I left school at 15, glad I did as now I have good nut and bolt collection any nuts and bolts I see laying around I always pick them up and put them in my pockets, the wife hates it as she misses them when doing the washing and always sticking it into me lol. Then when I got my job at a Technical College (TAFE) I had a good resource for nuts and bolts from fine threads to course and working in the maintenance workshop the taps and dies to go with them and everything else, slowly built up my workshop at home 😉😆.
Don't know what ever happened to my stamp collection 😕.

I came across a heap of old tobacco tins that had a collection of tobacco cards that must have come with each packet..( from a deserted house)...based on the amount of cards...they sure did smoke alot...hate to think what the are worth...apart from cancer
 
Concours, I found some motorcycle themed ones in the post office in Vientiane, in Laos.
 
Not a stamp collector but I like motorcycle memorabilia. I picked these Ireland/Norton ones recently. I have some Canadian stamps also somewhere that shows the Indian Motorcycles that were made there. I'll post them here when I find them
