Approval Sheets and Collections of Stamps.

NEW SHEETS OF STAMPS FOR BEGINNERS AND MEDIUM COLLECTORS.

We have just been arranging our Approval Sheets of Stamps on an entirely new and much simpler plan than formerly.  The Stamps are mounted on Sheets, containing an average of 100 Stamps per Sheet.  They are all arranged in the order of our New Catalogue.  First, Great Britain and the Colonies, then all Foreign Countries.  These Sheets contain about 5,000 different Stamps, and a Sheet of any particular country will be sent on demand.  The Sheets arranged to date are over forty in number, and contain all Great Britain and the Colonies, and all Foreign Countries.

TO ADVANCED COLLECTORS.—­For Collectors more advanced we have an assortment of many hundreds of small books of Choice picked Stamps of every Country or District in the World.  Most of these special books contain twenty pages (5x3-1/2 inches), and can be sent by post in an ordinary registered envelope to all parts of the world.  These books, as a rule, include Used and Unused Stamps, but Special Approval Books will be made up to suit individual requirements.  Collectors writing for such should state if they wish for Used or Unused Stamps; if singles, pairs, or blocks of 4 are required; also, in Used Stamps, if special Postmarks are sought for.  In all cases, in these books, we shall lay ourselves out to meet the special requirements of each individual client, whether the amount required be large or small.

Great Rarities are our Speciality.  We have a large number of Stamps on hand from L100 to L750 each, and shall be pleased to give prices and particulars to advanced Philatelists.

We purchase really Rare Stamps at a much higher Cash Price than that paid by any other Stamp Merchant.
