Stamps and Postal History of the Isle of Man

[@StampCatStamps]

👏👏👏 I loved this video! So glad you got to travel there in person. You did so much xtremephilately! I like your travel footage, and the waves on that seawall (and post card) were certainly impressive! I like reading the old messages on post cards too... Just a glimpse into another person's personal everyday life. Very great video keep it up!

[@RichardPhilatelist]

Thank you😊. IOM has became one of my favourite islands. I’m eager to explore more about it.

[@sarahgoodman6279]

Another great video Richard! I really enjoyed learning about all the postal history you covered and about the Isle of Man 😄

[@Howard2006]

Another great video and I learned a lot about Isle of Man and the history of the area.😀

[@ExploringStamps]

Love the Manx Loaghtan wool hat! I won't try to pronounce it. 😅 Another interesting episode, so much philatelic adventure in this one, well done! One day I hope to visit the Isle of Man for the TT race. Oh and thank you for the postcard! I imagine that it was dropped off at one of those postboxes in this video 😊

[@RichardPhilatelist]

You’re very welcome and thanks for watching Graham! And nope😅, I passed the postcard to the counter in Port Erin post office.

Why doesn't GRaham ever do South Africa, or Richard China. I guess your own country's stamps are boring right!

[@RichardPhilatelist]

@@maxiewawa Graham made at least one Episode of South Africa, “ Cape of Good Hope Stamps S2E20.” I will definitely make videos about Chinese stamps. There are a lot of stories to cover. I prefer to show you some of my collection in my video, not just talk. But most of my Chinese stamps collection is in my hometown in China, and I haven’t been back for three years😂😂 I will not go back soon, but I have friends in China who send letters to each other with me, I will have something for my viewers.

[@maxiewawa]

@@RichardPhilatelist I look forward to it. If you have Chinese friends who would like to exchange for Australian stamps let me know please. Also if they can buy 上海集邮 or similar magazines I could exchange for that too.

Great video Richard, can't wait to watch more :-)

[@RichardPhilatelist]

Oh, thank you for watching 🥰🥰

[@JanDoggen]

Another well-researched episode. Now I want the four Man Machins!

[@RichardPhilatelist]

Thank you☺️

Richard i think the Viking shown on the stamp commemorating the inaugaration of Manx postal services as the first Manx postman on his first delivery round delivering mail sent by sea.People didn't have letterboxes for their post so he has an axe to make a slit in the door through which he can put the letters. 🙂 Another very interesting and well done presentation.

[@RichardPhilatelist]

Good explanation 🤣

[@psarj]

Another excellent and informative video! You seem to have a knack for finding topics to dig into that even experienced (older 😃) collectors may not be aware of. Thanks!

[@RichardPhilatelist]

Thank you for your comment. I think it is because the scope of philately is too wide. So even though I’m a beginner, I can find some things that experienced collector have not be aware of☺️.

[@psarj]

@@RichardPhilatelist You're exactly right. It's one of the thigs that makes philately such a great hobby. There's always more to learn!

[@murrayrawstorn1095]

Hi Richard. I really enjoy the subjects you cover and the refreshing way you deliver your presentation. Don’t change anything and keep making these interesting videos. Maybe you’ll come down under one day? Cheers, Murray (N.Z.)

[@RichardPhilatelist]

Thanks, Murray, and I hope to travel to New Zealand 🇳🇿

[@LawrenceFisher]

Thank you Richard. I enjoyed this video.

[@RichardPhilatelist]

Thanks for watching, Lawrence

[@Hans-lv3ow]

Again very good vid! Thanks Richard!

[@RichardPhilatelist]

Thank you!☺️

[@becwrites]

Another informative episode Richard. Love the vlogging too 😉

[@RichardPhilatelist]

I'm glad you enjoyed it Bec, thanks for your continuous support of my channel.

[@billthetill2434]

Great video, really enjoyed it👍👍👍👍

[@RichardPhilatelist]

Thank you for watching ☺️

[@StampswithSara1]

Nice episode 😍

[@RichardPhilatelist]

Thanks for watching and commenting my videos Sara, appreciated your support.

[@RichardLaurence]

A fascinating episode! Keep them coming, please! I’m so amazed that you actually flew to the island. By the way, the ‘D’ in 3D is pronounced pence (or ‘penny’ if just 1). Also, a 1/2 pence is pronounced ‘haypenny’ - a contraction of half penny.

[@RichardPhilatelist]

Oh thank you so much! I will pay more attention about the Penny pronunciation in my future videos😁🙏

[@RichardLaurence]

@@RichardPhilatelist Even more confusing, the number 2 1/2 pence on the red Queen Elizabeth stamp can be pronounced ’tuppence haypenny’!

[@zakshakey4686]

The Peaky Blinders are coming!😱.😂... suits you sir! Suits you! 👍 Ok am really impressed with your drive and focus to tour the islands! It's cool. What inspired you to choose the islands? I'm similarly interested in collecting the Turkic countries (Turkiye, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan). I'm focusing on anything Ottoman and also have started contacting postal services in those countries to collect covers. But I think it will be a while before I can hop on a plane and visit them..but maybe some day.. The old used postcards - the text about the photograph I think the word after first class was "result". Are you only interested in old Islands postcards or any UK ones? I quite like the idea of reading the messages - gives a great idea about the culture. You'll be happy to know, with my postcrossing cards, I write so much that I run out of space and the message climbs up the sides... Anyway, another great vid..thanks!

[@philately6536]

Really interesting video! and I hope that you could travel to Singapore and study our complicated postal history! Great philatelic journey too! 😁 Best regards philately65

[@RichardPhilatelist]

Thanks mate. I have been to Singapore twice. But I'll probably go again. When I got serious about collecting stamps I wanted to go back to a lot of places I'd been.😅😅

[@seorwulf1049]

i think your postcard says - a first class result

[@seorwulf1049]

Hmm so 1870 Isle of Man Postal service was faster than the modern day New Zealand service! lol
