He also operated an outlet in San Francisco where in addition to buying and selling stamps, he published stamp catalogs and booklets. In "Egypt, Stamps and Postal History" (1999), Peter Smith suggests these imitations were produced in the US and not Germany and possibly not by Mr Sellschopp. (Image)
