A first

My first entry and it feels like the world is full of possibilities. At the very least I hope to be able to share information on my Argentine stamp & entire collection and maybe, just maybe, get in touch with those of you who are interested in trading. Do you have Argentinian stamps? I probably have other stamps that will interest you! Get in touch and let's see if we can trade!




















Here is a good example of a newspaper wrapper sent to a company in Villa Casilda by F.C.O.S.F. (Ferrocarril Oeste Santafesino) in 1899-1902. Villa Casilda is a city in the Province of Santa Fe, Argentina, that started out as an agricultural colony in 1870 and officially became a town in 1873.
