TASMANIAN STAMP DEALER/PHILATELIC SOCIETY EPHEMERA
Posted: Thu Jan 21, 2010 8:56 pm
The Spring/Summer edition of "The Cover Collector" (No.21 - Australian Cover Society) has an interesting well-illustrated article by
R. Phaup and M. Moore concerning the commercial stationery produced by Adelaide stamp dealer Peter K. Stalley. In addition
to the "Wide World" FDC's that he produced in the late 1940s and early 1950s, Stalley also designed and manufactured a range of
stationery for use by 'Stalley's Stamp Shop' and this material is the subject of the article.
A few hours after reading the article, a consignment arrived for my next auction which included the envelope illustrated below!
I have no idea as to who the producer of this cover was (or the printed) but judging by the paper and the printing, my "best guess" to
ascertain the possible period of production is c.1910.
I have commenced this topic for the recording of stationery used by Tasmanian stamp dealers .... I have a few items used by
Wm. Orchard, Petterd's Stamp Depot and a couple of early approval dealers which I will try and find and post the images thereof here.
If you have one or more items that belong to this genre, please post some images and any information known in this topic.
