Hi all,
I have a ton of worldwide postal stationary and cut squares. Is there any place I can go to get a reference of these. I am not even sure on some of them what country they are from and am looking forward to diving into them and placing them into a book all nice and neat.
Thanks in advance.

A guy in my stamp club knows ton about postal stationary. I can ask him at our next meeting. If you cannot find a good resource in the next week let me know.

Higgins & Gage is the standard reference - but probably more than you need

Remember to search for "stationEry"!

Does anyone know if the H & G catalogue is now accessible on line?

It's not online. It hasn't been updated in eons. I wish someone would just make an online resource, but that's a major undertaking. It probably could be done with the help of many people like the online wiki resource for worldwide meters.

For postal stationary of European countries, the Michel catalogs would now be the standard reference, at least outside of the US. H&G is just too old.

Hi Brazil offered this source when I asked about a Canadian stationary.
Maybe it can help you too, at least for Canada.

I have a set of H&G and could probably get it online in PDF format within a few days... but I won't. The copyright holders probably would not appreciate that.

Any efforts to turn it into an online reference need to start with contacting the perty(ies) who own the rights to it.
