Freddie’s father, Bomi, had an interest in collecting stamps which inspired his son to do the same. His stamp collection includes stamps from different countries across the world. Most of the stamps come from the British Empire and his home of Zanzibar.

One interesting fact about his collection is the way the stamps are arranged. One page was in order based on color, size, and type. After his death, Freddie’s father auctioned his collection and the National Post Museum purchased it two years after his passing.
