About Us

H & C Fare Stamp about us

Chas Stamps and PottersPostals are two separate stamp businesses. Chas Stamps is run by Charlie Rudge and PottersPostals by Huw Williams. Both of us are members of the Philatelic Traders Society. We became stamp dealers over 15 years ago and trade on eBay and HipStamp.

You will find a lot of Rhodesian material for sale, together with British Commonwealth. There is also material from Germany especially the Colonies and some world.

If you have any specific wants lists please contact us via email.
