Stamps of Fujairah: President JF Kennedy Commemoration

Fujairah Stamps History

The only set produced in 1965 was a set of 10 stamps commemorating the life of President John F Kennedy – the 35th American President.  The set was produced in perf and imperf format as all other sets.

The two highest values were additionally produced together in a Minisheet.  This miniature sheet was also produced both perf and imperf!

This was the beginning of a trend where Miniature sheets were produced for the majority of Stamp Issues of Fujeira, and in some cases 2 different Minisheets!  The quantity of stamps in each set; the additional minisheets and the production of these stamps in both imperf and perf formats were not very welcomed by collectors.  But at this stage, Fujeira’s number of new issues was quite restrained.

Kennedy Miniature Sheet – first minisheet for Fujeira containing the top two values in the set imperf.

Letter dated June 1965 to USA properly franked with the Kennedy 50np stamp – returned to sender!

 

A privately mailed letter to USA with the 6 low values of the set. The arrival datestamp on the back confirms it went through the mail system.
