Heraldry of the World Heraldic collector's items catalogue > Heraldic albums |
Album information :
- Issued by : A. Weller's Verlag, Kahla in Thüringen, Germany
- Date of issue : 1900-1920 (?)
- Number of stamps/cards : ? over 4000
- Image variants : several prints, so several slight differences
Background
This is a huge collection of stamps with the arms of countries and families, issued around 1900-1920. The total number is not known, the largest collection I have seen had 3800 stamps. The stamps were issued in sheets, which were numbered, but the stamps itself were not numbered.
The sheets were not always properly perforated, resulting in a number of different formats for the stamps. The actual format should be 4x5.5 cm, but can differ up to 1 cm in width.
The stamps could be glued on pages, which were then kept in boxes, see image above. I have no idea whether an index was issued.
