*** Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. ***
For an enjoyable view of a collection from the19th century, search the net for
"The Victoria-collection 1840-1895".

Nice old-time album, rare stamps and pleasant music to go along with a view of how someone from a century ago collected.

I'm not tech savy enough to download the video.

Could be a nice collection ,needs to be cleaned up .

Lots of dup's , without close scans you never know what is damaged or low quality also needs to be checked for forgeries . The suspects are all there . Looks like stuff in mounts were added .
