Hello,

Is there a comprehensive catalog for the Match & Medicine facsimiles? I have the Springer handbook and there are many more facsimiles than was is documented there. It would be great if there was something online, like there is for the M&M stamps.

I am not aware of anything online (other than my self-generated album pages in the other thread). There is a revised version of Springer in the works, but I don't know if that will list all the facsimiles or just the labels that are substantially the same as the stamps. Jim Drummond's catalog has an extensive listing of facsimiles - but not on-line.

Drummond's I think is like an updated Springer. I know Eric Jackson sells them and Drummond himself I think is on here.

Springer only listed facsimiles that were used as labels and only if they closely resembled the issued stamp (what Holcombe described as Type I labels). Drummond lists these labels, also labels that do not closely resemble the issued stamps (what Holcombe describes as Type II labels) and other items that are not facsimiles of M&M stamps.

If you send me your email address I'd be glad to send you an excerpt from the catalog that shows some of the match and medicine facsimiles.

Jim

Hi Jim,

Thanks for the offer! I was excited to learn that there is something more up-to-date.

I have my preferences set up so that anyone can send me email through SCF. I can't email you as I am a newbie.

Again, thanks,
Keith
