There is More to Collecting Stamps Than Just Stamps



Back in time some amazing items have been created for stamps. Perhaps the most common item you will find are stamp boxes, small trinket type boxes commonly made in wood or silver, and these are collectable in their own right. But, from time to time, some more surprising items like antique dispensing machines, postal handstamps and perforators to make perfins (letters or designs perforated in stamps as a security measure) get posted for sale.

You can keep an eye out for these items on the stamps search page at ValueAntiques.co.uk. Another reason to watch this page is that, although the site focuses on antiques rather than postage stamps, from time to time some old victorian or edwardian stamps are listed there where few people see them.
