Just remembered I had this small Peerless stamp hinge tin, I found at a local antique shop a while back, and started wondering if anyone collects things like this. I thought it was pretty cool, especially with the watermark tray built right into the bottom. Unfortunately, no hinges. Anybody else have vintage tamp collecting supplies or accessories, beyond Dennison hinges? How about vintage magnifiers, tweezers, etc...

My stamp tongs.



I've been using them for over 40 years. They were a Christmas gift from my parents, along with my very first stamp album, a Harris Statesman. The album is long gone, but the tongs remain.

Here's my old Bausch & Lomb magnifier with built-in perforation gauge:




Still works too!



Can't remember where/how I got it, but I've had it for a loooong time...

Cool stuff! Can't remember if I've shown these here, but this thread seems appropriate.
Here's a loupe I picked up at auction last year. A printers loupe, yes, but very handy for stamps, and quite compact.



And this is an old Kodak paper cutter I use to trim my mounts.

I do not have many vintage items in my collection, but here is a nice Scott "Imperial" from 1934. It was an Easter gift to my great-aunt from her grandparents.

Were it not for the inscription it would be "new old stock" condition. No stamps. Never used.

I found a Roto-Guage about a year ago. I don't use it but it is on display on a bookshelf with some albums.
