Stamps of Fujairah: Disney movies

Before the first Post Office was opened in Fujairah, the locals used a courier Saeed Mohammed Tanaji to take letters to Kuwait and Saudi Arabia and collect mail on his way back to Fujairah. Secondly, there was also a grocery named Abdul Rasak Grocery.

They would accept mails from locals and take it to Dubai to be sent out.  He would also collect any mails for locals from the Dubai Post Office.  This information was obtained from locals and unfortunately, there are no letters known from this period to confirm this.

Three sets were produced from Disney movies without any appropriate authorisation from the Walt Disney Corporation!  One set depicted famous cartoon characters; another with scenes from the animation movie ‘101 Dalmatians and another set depicting scenes from another Disney animation movie The Aristocats.  Each set was made up of 20 stamps and each was available in both perf and imperf formats!
