Antique World Stamp Guides

Here is my oldest world stamp guide. It is a 1930 Scott Guide. Wasn't it wonderful to have the whole world in one guide.

That is lovely Lockum !
Old guides,catalogues and magazines are keepers.
I have a 1936 Gibbons. It looks quite strange when one considers the size today.

Neat thread,

I have a couple of Postage Stamps of the United States 1937/1938
catalogs by Gibbons also. What a joy to page through, such explanations, minute details, and can imagine what the size would be these days if all
issues had such devoted explanations.

I took a look at their listing for Scott 181 (Zachary Taylor/A55/1875)
the 1938 catalog has 317 copies issued and 8 copies known at that time.
Value Unused $1000.

the Scott 2010 catalog, $450,000! whew!

Thanks for sharing you items, nice catalog Lockumup.

To bad the catalog didn't go up in price like that Scott 181.
