1897 Qv Jubilee Label

Here's my latest cinder, kindly donated by a friend

Issued in 1897 by WS Lincoln, who claimed to have the oldest stamp shop in the world.

I haven't seen it before. Can anyone add info? Is there another set I now have to search for???

I understand him to have had 4 cinderellas similar,
I have no records of this, just a hazy memory of reading it somewhere.
Robin Linke noted an example in his auction on the 5th of this month.
in a box of cinderellas for $200.

That's about all I can offer, but....

I can take you inside his shop if you like.
(400,000 images come in handy sometimes )

Thanks Rod. I knew I could count on you. I'll try to scan the pics of the shop from the album for posterity as well.

I wouldn't count on my memory Jubilee,
I searched the web without success,
all the ebay sales of this item have passed, so it is hard to get info on how they were used.
I cannot find the dang Lincoln album I got this image from, must be in the attic.

Do you have any information on Queen Victoria's crowns?
The Cinderella shows a rather large one, usually she is shown with a
rather tiny crown on top of a veil.

I'll risk repetition, seeing you are a KG5 man,
this "feel good" story regarding the king in 1912.
I may have posted this before.

I would suggest that cinderella is unusual as she
is shown wearing the "St Edwards crown" which is
the coronation crown, the topic of the issue.

from wiki
The Small Diamond Crown of Queen Victoria was a miniature crown created at the request of Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom in 1870. It was perhaps the crown most associated with Queen Victoria. Such was the association that it, and not either the traditional St. Edward's Crown or her own Imperial State Crown, was placed on her coffin before her funeral

Yep, you answered your own question Rod

It's the Coronation crown, which as you say is fitting for the Jubilee.

Here's the pics from the album for posterity. Wouldn't you love to go back in time?

Absolutely.
That must be W S Lincoln himself outside the shop, and at the desk
in my image.
A few curios..
Shop window has "Stamp Albums" "Crest Albums"
I wonder if that is a brand name, or they collected family crests in those days?
Inside the shop left hand side "Completed" ?
Looks like a full collection of GB stamps

I love his displays, however, I know it's London, but all those
Picture Postcards and stamps fading in the window

They sold Crest and Monogram albums, and sold sheets of Arms and Crests. A hobby that has long-since died away.

Well, well well, we do learn something everyday.
Never seen a skerrick of this hobby,in auctions,internet, ever.
Thanks.

It never ends, does it? I'll try to scan the ads from the album for your files.

The next step for me, is looking for images that show
early pacquet routes and air clipper routes.
Without these a lot of the charm of how mail got there is lost,
and they seem pretty hard to come by.

Anyhows, here is the shop front of the Frenchman Theodore Champion
once owner of one of the rarest stamps in the world in "Life" magazine"
Under "Theo" in the image, his window shows the cover of this
supplement to Yvert & Tellier catalogue 1939

There's a fantastic Pacific Clipper site here http://gracephil.com/Pacific-Clippe...rs-home.html

Here we go Rod. Has anyone EVER seen an album of these?

It is truly amazing what the members of this forum come up with to share with the rest of us.

This is a very interesting topic.

About two years ago, I saw an old "Lincoln" stamp album. I met the owner only once and he was from out of town, so, unfortunately I do not have the man's name. The album was not up for sale, so, I have to assume it is still possessed by the same man I met (?) If I remember correctly, the front cover had 'silver' lettering and a bluish colour front cover.

Happy collecting

Gee, marvelous Jubilee, quite a revelation
thanks so much for the images.
The crest and monogram album is typical w s lincoln,
probably brown faux leather impressed with their name and text in gold.
I have a similar album somewhere in the attic .
Once you handle one of these albums, you dont forget it, lovely stuff.

Also thanks for the airmail route, which answerd a question I had
regarding the FAM codes, which I noticed on Zhang's auction
"Foreign Airmail Route" and a code number.

Bujutsu: would this be the one? Std 9th edition borrowed from the web
