Scott Worldwide In 1 Volume

Does anyone know off-hand ...who would remember such a thing!....when Scott last covered the worldwide arena in just one volume? A ballpark year would be helpful even so I can pick up a used copy. Some of my Scandinavians have strayed over the Classic 1940 issue date (Scott and Facit)and I'm compiling a Scott's checklist. I like to have a printed reference unless there is some on-line identification version. Highly unlikely I think, and I'm aware that a small possibility exists that some Scott numbers have changed. Thanks. John

I used to know off the top of my head, but the last one-volume Scott was somewhere in the '68-'70 range, if I recall correctly. I'm pretty sure my newest one-volume is a '68, but I think there was at least one, maybe two, after it.

It's a monster, and I almost never use it, but I get why you'd want one. A friend who collects up to a cutoff in the late Fifties uses his as his "comprehensive" checklist. He eventually had to have it rebound, but that worked out well.

ETA: Mine is in pretty fair condition. Come to think of it, I should move it on to someone who has more use for it than I do. If you'd like it, it's yours. Send me a message through the system if you want it. (You won't hurt my feelings if you don't.)

I used to have a 1940 Scott which I bought for $1 and used as a checklist. It was small enough to take to stamps shows.

CjD, coming your way with the info. Thanks for the offer...I'm just looking for the European area. My refs miss 1941 through about 1947, which are of interest.

P.S.- I have something like a 1907 copy, just as sort of a relic to remind me that all the world could be captured in a fairly small book back then. Doesn't help with the 40's though. I've actually compiled a checklist which lists each page of my Lindner albums by Scott number. Serves as list for "what to look for" and crosses them to the Facit, or other, identities used by Lindner at the same time.

I have one. 1971

I have a Scott International Vol 1 from 1985 that's in two parts.

When I first read this thread, I thought the discussion was about albums (Scott International "Big Blue"), but then realized it was about the Scott catalogue.

I think Dan (rdavid) said he has a one (large) volume that covers the world for 1971. I know, by 1973-74, the Scott catalogue coverage was split into three thinner volumes, as I have these. I might use them as checkmark catalogues to keep track of inventory during the 1941-1969 era. For he 1840-1940 era, I checkmark for inventory purposes a Scott Classic 1840-1940 catalogue.

Sorry! That's exactly what I thought too...

It was called the Grand Award and, yes, it was a monster; the binders are about the same thickness as a Minkus Supreme or Master Global. I found one in a stack of feeders I bought a few months ago; the one feature I noticed that even the Internationals don't have is catalog numbers in the illustrated spaces throughout, not just in the U.S. section. The copyright dates in my copy are 1961 to 1972, my guess is that it may be Scott's response to the single-volume Minkus Master Global.

Me too. But it still morphed into an interesting subject.

I just got home and took another look at it, and two things jump out at me:

1. The spine says "1969 - Combined Edition" and
2. The binding is loose and a bit of a swayback...if it was a horse, it might be on the way to the glue factory. Nevertheless, it still might be worth "free."

Hi

I have a 1926 Scott catalog that I bought at a club auction for under $1. I bought it because it lists items that Scott doesn't list any more.

This is exactly why we need single country PDFs that you can carry around on your tablet

Yes,sorry for the less than precise thread name..... I meant the Scott Standard Postage Stamp Catalog. It seems like it went to 2 volumes right after WW2: The Americas/British Commonwealth, and "The Rest of the World"; and then by the late 60's or so it was in 3 volumes, then when stamp issues ballooned it went to the current alphabetical format in many volumes. I found a 1949 Volume 2 online for $9.11 including shipping, should suit my purposes. I use the Scott Classic and Facit Classic in the main. Since I have late 40's Lindner pages I thought I may as well fill them.

Downloadable checklists with Scott numbering for all countries would also be a boon.
