Did You Trick or Treat for UNICEF when you were a child?
I probably did in 1961.
That is the year the Stamp below was issued.
OMG that is more than 50 years ago.

I love the first group of stamps with the train. I remember trick-or-treating for UNICEF.
ReplyDeleteYou seem to have forgotten to link to Sunday Stamps.
Duh! Yes I did forget. Thanks
DeleteI remember collecting pennies for Unicef during Halloween! My that takes me back.
ReplyDeletethank you for joining in this week.
Another coincidence I picked up a United Nations franked envelope from 1971 this week with five stamps on it. None related to Unicef though. You have a find collection here.
ReplyDeleteLovely stamps and covers, I haven't seen these before, in fact I'm seeing a lot of stamps for the first time this week.
ReplyDeleteI have the second FDC - never thought of posting it, so am glad you did!
ReplyDeleteI was just thinking I'd never seen many UNICEF stamps and then there have been a bumper Sunday Stamps lot this week to show me how many there are. What wonderfully vibrant stamps yours are. I like how the covers show the work they do.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy looking at the first two sets from UNICEF. It is so colorful and truly shows a child's happiness. :)

I love the train and birds stamps, so colourful! They're such a contrast to the picture in the second FDC. I feel sad for these children: where are their mothers, and why do the nurses wear a facemask...
ReplyDeleteThanks to the mail (and you!) they're not forgotten...
Lovely stamps. I like to see Little Red Riding Hood in the train among the children... ;)
