poster stamp albums
This section will illustrate various types of Poster Stamp Albums as they were created and used.
Many publishers of poster stamps also printed albums into which collectors could affix or mount their poster stamps as they were acquired. Some albums were printed for specialty uses and included spaces with stamp illustrations or numbers.
Other albums had some kind of decorative cover, and the pages were either blank or printed with gridlines to aid in mounting the stamps.
Purpose-Printed Albums
These albums were printed for a specific use or purpose.
Some were printed to house a specific collection, either arranged by printer or for specific sets or series of stamps.
One type of purpose-printed album was used specifically for contests or competitions. The album owner would collect specific stamps, as directed by the contest sponsor, and mount them into the album. Upon completion, the album would be presented to the contest sponsor, who would acknowledge the submission and return the album to the owner as a keepsake. Then the collector's name would be entered as eligible to be awarded prizes, as stipulated by the contest sponsors. Some of these albums can be seen by clicking on the names below.
