Grossman Stamp Company -- When Did They Go Out Of Business?

They were publishers of a range of retail products, including Hygrade packets, and beginning albums from majestic to either Paramount or Regent. Also had a massive wholesale operation. based in NYC.

I think they went under in the late 1960's. At least that's when I stopped seeing their albums etc in retail outlets.

There's currently an ebay listing for a Hygrade Stamp Album (paperback) that was published by Grossman Stamp Company in 1985, so we can at least date their products to that year:

My first stamp album is the United States Stamp Album (The Victory) by Grossman Stamp Co. Inc. New York 3, New York. The copyright is 1960 and marked includes supplements up to 1966. It was bought brand new in 1972 and I do not remember where I bought the updates from for years 1997-1972.

So I can officially say they were in business up to at least 1966. However I have seen items form them with dates that reach the mid 1980's.

They are still registered as a business . Someone is paying the incorporation fees .

If they are active that is another story.
