Yes. Similar to the market for racist advertising caricatures in postal history.


Edit: US Japanese Internment Camp and processing is very collectible as well and does not seem to get the hatred as is shown towards the Nazi and KKK subjects today. Perhaps unlike the other topics Internment postal history results from something the US Government, put in place by A Democrat POTUS, not overruled by a Democrat majority US Congress, nor at first overruled by a SCOTUS (three did dissenting) with all nine Justices appointed by a Democrat POTUS and approved by a Democrat majority Senate.


Quote:
In 1983, a pro bono legal team with new evidence re-opened the 40-year-old case in a federal district court on the basis of government misconduct. They showed that the government's legal team had intentionally suppressed or destroyed evidence from government intelligence agencies reporting that Japanese Americans posed no military threat to the U.S. The official reports, including those from the FBI under J. Edgar Hoover, were not presented in court. On November 10, 1983, a federal judge overturned Korematsu's conviction in the same San Francisco courthouse where he had been convicted as a young man.

The district court ruling cleared Korematsu's name, but the Supreme Court decision still stands.


Federal Judge Marilyn Hall Patel, appointed by POTUS Carter was the judge who ordered the overturning of conviction.

Sadly even modern history seems to be erased or cancelled when it does not suit certain groups.

I have heard and seen outrage about the racist caricatures and KKK (early and late) being shown, sold or listed, but not one word of outrage nor concern about the documents of Japanese Internment, an action which impacted many friends of mine and countless others through the USA.

Everything is collected by someone.
It is part of America's social history and should not be swept under the rug.

Nazi items are also a part of social history and are also collected, although there are some who are very vocal in this regard.

I would be interested in buying items like those talked about. The nazi items is just a part of WW2 and KKK items a part of the US history. If we forget where we come from we are apt to repeat them.

I am not for sure, but I think ebay may not let you list KKK or nazi items for sale. I would check before listing, it may save a unforeseen problem. Best too look before you jump as they say.

Do you have the covers with postage intact with your letters. If so and ebay will not let you list. I would like to hear how much you need for them.

A number of hand-carved KKK-themed cancels were used by the post office at Union Mills, Pennsylvania in 1870. They serve as a reminder that the Klan had adherents in the north as well as the south.

'Skull and Crossbones' KKK postal cancel, Union Mills, Pennsylvania, c. 1870

The skull and crossbones was one of the earliest symbols adopted by the Klan.

'Kleagle Mask' KKK postal cancel, Union Mills, Pennsylvania, c. 1870

This cancel depicts an early style of homemade KKK mask. Stamp collectors refer to it as a kleagle mask after the title given to Klan recruiters, but that word was unknown in the 1870s.
