Worldwide Postal Stationery in an Old Imperial Postage Stamp album Titled "Envelopes and Wrappers" by Stanley Gibbons, with "over 4,500 engravings" this album is undated but contains material from early to up to about the 1920s. We note both cut squares and entires from a good number of different British Commonwealth and worldwide countries. We also note a very nice assortment of postmarks from all over, with destinations (many are addressed to Basel Switzerland), rates, and more. We counted about 140 stationery cards and covers, and probably hundreds of cut squares or portions of cards, and have not checked any for scarcity, etc. The items appear to be all hinged with either regular hinges or paper ones and the condition is overall fine, with the odd faulty item here and there. Certainly the first of these we have handled, careful examination could bring forth good finds. See scans for a small idea only.
