Hi, I have inherited a collection which includes the above booklet. I am trying to establish the value as I would like to sell the booklet however when I refer to the British Stamps market Values Book 2015 there are 3 options for the buff colored booklet printed by Harrison. Can anyone please tell me how I tell which entry relates to my booklet.The values appear to be £1750; £5,000 or £500 ? The booklet is complete (46 stamps) and in very good condition including adverts with just a slight crease in the front cover across the bottom right corner. Thanks

 It might be this one......................................... or this one? Both were printed in 1934 by Harrison and have a cat value of around £2000 each and are available to buy at around £500 in fine condition. The crease you mention... is a crease which will affect the price. |

Thanks for response and information. The booklet I have is as per your examples but with "The LONDON and LANCASHIRE Insurance co.uk" Still not really sure how you tell whether my booklet is printed by Harrison 1934 (£1750) or printed by Harrison 1935 photogravure intermediate (£5,000) or printed by Harrison 1935 photogravure small format (£500). Any further info would be much appreciated. Thanks |

You should be able to tell by the edition number in the top right hand corner. For example, those illustrated below are # 7 and 8.
Regards.

Thanks Geoff, The edition number is 15, however I'm not sure how that helps as I don't have much recent knowledge about collecting ; only as a lad about 50 years ago. I have just revisited my own collection of British stamps again and hope to improve it with the stamps that I have inherited. Any further advice about the booklet would be welcome. Thanks |

I'm looking at a 2007 SG GB Concise catalogue. This shows that edition numbers 10 to 15 date from July 1935. In 2007, they were valued at £425, cf. Edition 2-6 (£2,750), Edition 7-8 (£1,200) and Edition 9 (£3,250). These CVs will doubtless have moved upwards since then. But bear in mind that, as scotzm says, the real world selling price is a percentage of the CV - 10% for most issues, a higher percentage for rarer material such as these booklets.
Good luck!

From the original description I assumed the booklet to be Booklet number BB35. The new details show it to be Booklet number BB37. Price-wise it is catalogued at around £600 in fine condition so perhaps you might expect 10-20% (or a bit more) of that for your (slightly) damaged booklet. |

In this case the issue numbers tell the story... booklet issues 10 to 15 are small format photogravure and, as Geof has indicated already, printed July 1935. |
