First select the country required, (place the mouse over the flag to see the country name), then in the following list select the period of use or reign. From here you will be presented with pictures of each stamp with the basic details. No prices are quoted as these can quickly become outdated and this would mean constant updates of those sections already in place. The stamps are listed by date of issue or in the case of sets, in value order. At the request of some users we will be adding our own numbering system as the use of Scott, Gibbons and other such numbering systems are covered by copyright laws. These will be added to completted sections over aperiod of time, and every items identification wll be specific. Thus unlike other catalogues where number 1 can relate to diffent stamps with the country needing to be specified, ours will identify the country of origin as well.

      In effect this is a simplified catalogue, but each basic samp can be linked at a later date to more specilised information should this be required. (see the first issue of the USA as an example).

      As this project develops, it will be noted that there are many missing illustrations and details. Any user that can help to fill these gaps can send scans and details to the email address on the main page of the site.
