I was stationed in Turkey 1978-1980, excellent food there, nice people, never found a stamp shop there.
I was never interested in Turkish stamps.

My wife, Susan, had an unexpected job opportunity when we emigrated to Canada in August, 1969. Her U.S. teaching credentials were accepted by the Ottawa school board, but there were no job vacancies, so she went job hunting and was hired as the assistant to the commercial attaché in the Turkish embassy. She enjoyed her job, some of which involved drafting letters in English for the commercial attache. She recalls one amusing incident. The attaché walked into her office to ask a question.
Attaché: Mrs. Ingraham, what means “man”?
Susan: Well, that just refers to gender. My husband is a man. You are a man.
Attaché: No no no! I mean “man,” like when you say, “Man! That’s coffee!”
Susan’s job didn’t last long. She was offered a teaching job in January, and took it. The commercial attaché was not pleased.

The internet tells me that a 10 cent in 1915 stamp is worth a whopping $3.18 in modern dollars. Enjoy!
