Mapping Davo Album To Scott Numbers?

I'm using a hingeless Davo album for my better classic US stamps. Unfortunately the album does not include Scott numbers. Has anyone attempted to map Davo album pages to Scott numbers? If not maybe I'll make it a project myself. Here's an example where it could really help:

I also have the same album. I haven't done it but would be a great project. I have some trouble with the album in the Franklin-Washington time period. 'Im not 100% sure I know what belongs on some of those pages.

I do not have the Davo US album, nor do I have the Netherlands & Colonies hingeless. I do have the Switzerland. They make a very nice and reasonable album, but leave out some main numbers. I go around that by using their blank pages.
I do understand why they do not use Scott numbers, or, for that matter, any other numbers. It would make things very confusing to say the least. That with all the different numbering systems out there.
But I do wished that they were a bit more attentive to the wishes of their customers and add some of the main numbers that are missing from their pages.

I wish Davo would offer more choice as to binders, I prefer my pages lie flat. I had a Davo album long ago and pages toward the back were lways bending so badly I couldn't work on them without difficulty. They offer no stock pages to match, you are on your own with blank pages. They have much to commend them but that factor alone keeps me from using them.

They do have stock pages to match now. I use the Dutch website - the US importer does not have everything. http://davo.nl . Go to 'webshop'.

I was also disappointed in the difficulty of having the pages lie flat. I find that I can adjust the covers and it is ok, but not ideal.

I have bought blank US pages for the items they skip and things like proofs and essays.

Anyway I'll try to take on the Scott mapping project for the first US album. Thanks all for your replies.

What peoples are expecting here? Post binder don't open flat........... Davo have the best post binders period, it's the design of their page that is poor.

I have an advanced Netherlands collection that was in a set of Davo hingeless albums. I didn't like the page designs and never could find blank pages for sale. There are a lot of items NOT in the Davo albums so I got rid of the Davos and opted for Steiner pages.

I mount all of my collections and I have total control over what I want to collect by using Steiner pages.

Try Palo if you want pages to lie flat.

I also have the U.S. Davo albums. Yes, you would need to just go through your catalog and the album and maybe write in pencil the Scott numbers. However, since the album is hingeless, you would have to write the numbers outside the box, which in my opinion would not look good.

In (hopefully helpful) reply to rlsny (the first poster): it appears that someone has already done the mapping that you seek -- at least for Volume 1 -- in another thread here. Do a search on:

At the recent "big show" in NYC (which I'm *really* glad I attended), Palo Albums -- which is now the US distributor for Davo -- had a booth, with samples of US and Canada Davo's on display. Paul Bartolomei, the owner, told me the following: the owner of Davo (i.e., from the Netherlands) was at the show and had come by the booth earlier. Paul mentioned to this gentleman that one thing he'd heard from a number of customers was that they like the Davo album, but that they wished it came in a ringbinder version (rather than the two post / screws). This gentleman told Paul that -- as least in the Netherlands -- ringbinders are looked upon as inferior/"junky" -- like the binders one had when one was a kid in school. According to him, the type of binder that Davo albums feature is held in much higher esteem. (Paul also told me that he "checked this out" with another person from the Netherlands, who confirmed it.)

I largely (though not exclusively) use preprinted albums for my collecting, and I've always been a ringbinder guy, largely because of the pages-will-lie-flat thing. But I have to say that the Davo album I looked at, at the show, really didn't seem all that bad in that regard, not even at either end. (The scoring on the inside of the pages helps, I think.) I did notice, though, that the sample had filler strips distributed throughout. I thought I heard Paul say that Davo albums come with those, though I haven't noticed that in their catalog / publicity.
