Thank you for allowing me to join this forum. I am sorry that I only know English. I can read some French and bits of other languages, but it takes time for me to do that.
My name is Rob Faux and I live in the United States (Iowa). I am a vegetable and poultry farmer. As a result, I am often unable to do things with the hobby during the growing season. Winter is my time to enjoy postal history.
My main area of interest in mail from the United States to other country in the 1860's. I have an exhibit that features postal history with the 24 cent 1861 series United States stamp. If anyone needs help with trans-Atlantic mail, I might be able to help. An example of some of the research I have done in this area and a few pictures of some of the items I collect and exhibit can be found here .
I have expanded my interest to mails in Europe during the same period (1860's). I am still trying to learn this area and would be happy for the chance to get help.
Best,
Rob
