Greetings, two summers ago I spent a few weeks in Europe visiting relatives and tagging along on my wife's sales calls and managed to visit 3 or 4 nice stamp shops, Paris (where one only accepted cash, rare these days and I had no Euros after picking out several hundred dollars woold antiques mall). We are going in August for another 3 weeks and have identified a stamp store in Copenhagen, our first stop. I will also revisit the Goteborg store. Does anyone know of, or have recommendations, for stores in Malmo (its a stretch..), Vienna, Bratislava, Budapest (there seem to be several...are Hungarians ardent collectors?), or Munich? Thanks.
Butchered my own posting...second line should have read "several hundred dollars worth of early French stamps. Also, a very good store in Gamla Stan in Stockholm, and a small store in Goteborg in an antiques mall."
svensson, if you haven't read it yet, Herman Herst's Nassau Street has a fascinating part about European stamp shops in the 1930s. Did you go to the Paris Stamp Fair?
Yes, I have Nassau Street, a great read which makes stamp dealer seem like an international bman of mystery. No, never to a Paris stamp fair. Unfortunately not on our itinerary this year. I think maybe it was the Ceres shop which was cash only.
