Fujeira – Scott # 36

Description

Issued by Fujairah in the mid-1960s, Scott #36 is a memorial issue honoring John F. Kennedy (1917–1963). The stamp features a poignant photographic image of Kennedy with Jacqueline Kennedy and their young child, emphasizing family, youth, and the personal legacy of the late U.S. president.

The design reflects Fujairah’s early philatelic practice of issuing internationally themed commemoratives, often focusing on globally recognized figures and events. English and Arabic inscriptions appear together, underscoring the emirate’s outward-looking identity during this formative postal period.

Printed in muted grayscale tones with gold and black lettering, the stamp is denominated 3 Riyals and is representative of the widely collected early Fujairah issues, sometimes referred to by collectors as part of the classic “Trucial States” era.

This example is offered mint never hinged, with full original gum, clean margins, sharp perforations, and strong overall eye appeal.
