Franke Stamps was started in 1981 in Talent, Oregon, by Joe & Aileen Franke. Our original effort was to service the local needs of the Southern Oregon area for beginning and intermediate collectors.

We are both topical and thematic collectors. Our topics are lighthouses and marine mammals.

For several years, we participated in stamp club and dealer bourse shows along the west coast. Today, we send out monthly topical approval selections, to fill want lists and service our topical website. We now have customers from all over the United States and the world, from beginners to serious collectors.

We hope that you'll find something on our website that will add to your stamp collecting pleasure. Should you have questions or desire some stamps that you don't see, please let us know and we will make an effort to find them for you.
