Gilligan's Island

Gilligan's Island (1964-1967) inspired a set of fantasy labels (poster stamps) from the island. The labels were issued around 1967 in two values: $1 green and $2 brown, both perforated 11.5 and imperforated. Forgeries and repints are known to exist

A later printing of the $1 value in blue on goldenrod paper was issued. The stamps can be found on cover with various markings (still looking for some)

The television movie Rescue form Gilligan's Island released in 1978 inspired antoher issue, this time with the word RESCUE inscribed on the island's mountain.Printed with four stamps per sheet in various colors

The island view from the shows opening credits was Coconut Island, Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii

Popeye - E.C. Segar : 1995 Comic Strip Classics

1995-Oct-01 Boca Raton FL

Popeye – E.C. Segar (1894-1938) Popeye was an overnight success when he made his debut on the stage of the Thimble theatre comic strip in 1929. His adventures mixed thrills, satire, parody and nonsense; his sayings “I yam what I yam...” are part of our language. The strip began in 1919. ©1995 King Features Syndicate Inc.
