Stamp Magazine  |  March 2022
In our March issue we wallow in nostalgia, rediscovering umpteen philatelic gadgets of yesteryear, from peelable hinges to watermark detectors and position-finders to rotary perforation gauges. Which of them did you own?
We also offer a thorough reappraisal of the pioneering self-adhesive stamps of Sierra Leone in the 1964-71 period. They were not well loved, but they were far-sighted, and perhaps the best way to collect them is on commercial cover.
Amongst our regular features, Commonwealth Classics recalls the 1923 pictorials of Iraq under the post-war British Mandate, while Great Engravers celebrates the work of William Humphrys, who was Perkins Bacon’s master craftsman during the exciting 1850s. Victoriana examines a British cover franked with bisected stamp, and asks how often such a ploy was attempted.
Our news pages have full details of the upcoming London 2022 international exhibition, details of the latest issues from Royal Mail and around the world, and the stories behind amazing rarities sold at auction.
