Envelope in collection: 179
In the 1980s I had a collection of envelopes from all over the world. In April 2017 I started again with a new collection. My aim: an envelope from every stamp issuing authority in the world, including local posts. Also envelopes with permanent pictorial postmarks and special means of sending mail. This collection and this blog will grow during the coming months and years. Comments and suggestions for links or (local) postal administrations are welcome.

Germany - Essen - Briefmarken-Messe 2017
When I visited the Briefmarken-Messe in Essen on 11
and 12 May 2017 I left stamped envelopes at almost all the countries present at
the fair. After a week I realized that I did not have an envelope with the
Messe postmark itself. Fortunately there is a four week period that pre-stamped
envelopes can be sent to the German Sonderstempelstelle (special postmark
bureau), so I did. I used the 90 cent definitive stamp that was issued on 11
May 2017.
