Here's mine, where the scans have come from. Cloth bound and gilt. Tatty, empty and adorable  No need for checklists and spreadsheets in those days. Just take your album and catalogue in one volume to the stamp shop with you!  |

Wow! that has to be the Pièce de résistance. That's beautiful. I note the globe surrounded by people of the four corners of the earth. The globe is framed by the olive leaf of peace, and the holly of immortality. Nice one Mr. Lincoln.T.H. Hinton of Chelsea |

My bad. I should have said, this one isn't a Lincoln. It's by T.H. Hinton of Chelsea |

Wow, this has turned out to be a great thread! My first album was called an "Explorer" like Rod's, but I remember it having a similar, but coloured picture on the front and was paperback. Sadly I do not have it anymore... :( |

Really nice looking old albums. I have not seen those before.
I think that a lot of the old albums covers are quite ornate, a lot better than most modern albums.
Great topic.

Ah Yes, I recall the Excelsior (XLCR) stamp finder, I preferred the "Seven Seas" who had the courage to show the world a very little known fact. When Armstrong landed on the moon, he found Ponce de Leon had beaten him there by 500 years! Here is the proof from Fujeira  |

Interesting material showing up here.
These old albums and stamp finders have to be collectibles all on their own. I have to ask the question, how strong is the market on such items?
Great stuff

Items like these show up once and a while at our club auctions. Even the ones in great shape don't attract much attention. Dianne  |
