Stamps of Fujairah: Kennedy stamp, Gold and Silver

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.

Huge Gold/Siler foil stamps produced in 1972.  On the top (reduced to fit) is the original Kennedy stamp issued perf and imperf in Gold and Silver.  This one is gummed onto a souvenir pamphlet issued officially by the Post Office of Fujeira and individually numbered.  It is called a ‘Special De Luxe Issue’ and claims that only 500 perf and 250 imperf were produced.
