Australian Postal Stationery Catalogue - what's best?

quicksingle · **Posted:** Fri Jul 29, 2011 00:06:31 am

Hi All,

I'm looking for a Australian Postal Stationery Catalogue,my best reference at the moment is a very old Australasian Stamp Catalogue.

What is the latest edition to include Registered Envelopes,Wrappers,Postcards etc.?

Or are their any other sources?

And is the Brusden White stationery catalogue truth or fiction?

Very much in the pipeline. Geoff Kellow has been working on it for months. I have seen a draft of the Victoria postcard part. Will be excellent when issued.

Any ideas as to when it will be published ?

as we are still waiting on the postage due catalogue.

Are you looking for modern (decimal) or pre-decimal stationery?

Hi Chris,

I'm looking for pre-decimal stationery catalogues.

Or where i can find sources of infomation.

For what it's worth, Carl Stieg produced an excellent catalogue on Victorian Postal Stationery. It was produced in 2001 and runs to over 200 pages with plenty of illustrations.

I'm looking for the lastest Australian Stamp Catalogue to include all forms of postal stationery or any other books with information on postal stationery.

YEARS is more like it surely?

Same as the ACSC "Postage Dues" which was finalised years back too, and never printed and ditto "Kangaroos".

Brusden White sadly are a joke in recent years. Not Geoff's doing I stress.

The ASC is not great, but it is current, and it is buyable.

I agree been waiting for the Postage Due Catalogue sooooooo long now.

I think it's just a pipe dream or should i say it's in the pipeline :lol:

Will look out for ASC then just need to sort out my collection, the numbers in my copy are so out of date (1979)

Volume 4 of the Robson Lowe Encyclopedia has postal stationery listings for the states and Australia up to 1952 or so.

A list of KG6 stationery for the British Commonwealth, based on the Higgins & Gage catalogue, is online here:

Hi GJ50,

Yes the link isn't right. The joys of aspx files :lol:

Click on the 'H & G KGVI Catalog' link up in the top left corner and the catalogue appears. There is a drop-down menu to the left of this so you can select the type of stationery to be listed.

Hope this helps !!

Cheers,

Robert

Robert,

Did notice the Australian listings of Military stationery gives you the aerogramme listings again.

But this is better than i've got at the moment,just need a source of KGV stationery and i've cracked it.

bathurst stamper,

Thanks for the heads up i will email them shortly.

I have managed to get Higgins and Gage pages for Australia and that's great help.

As it's quite a time since i last post on this thread.

Is there any update on the ACSC Catalogues for postage dues and stationery?

Finally got the excellent Robson Lowe Vol 4.,thanks for the tip bathurst stamper.

Do you gave Higgins and Gage "A" Countries :?:

Reasonably thorough, printed in the mid '60's (with an update in the early '80's) so prices are totally out of date, still it's not bad. You can often get copies or originals online and they aren't too expensive.

Lakatoi 4,

I've got both but printing is a bit on the small side.

And the illustrations could be better.

Agreed that printing and the pages themselves are on the small size, that's why I blew up the pages so they fit to A4 (which reminds me, I promised a certain well known Stampboards person a copy of it, didn't I :idea:

).

quicksingle · **Posted:** Thu Jun 28, 2012 23:12:59 pm

I was thinking of doing the same,and increasing the size just to make them easier to read.

Yep, at A4 size they are fine and they can be hole punched, or better still put them double sided into plastic sleeves then into a binder.
