First Issues 1852-53 and aspects of first issue collecting work in progress I intended to display this in Feb 2008, but was lacking some essential stamps and will have to try again.
Bexley Philatelic Society 8 page Thematic 1st February 2008 This display is part of a collection of the first stamp issues from every country. It comprises (where available) the first stamp, commemorative, airmail, charity stamp, official and post due label. The full collection can be seen online at www.snap-dragon.com (click on the Guinness glass). I displayed First Issues 1840-49 in the February 2007 Thematic competition and 1850-51 in the November 2008 Traditional (see reverse for thumbnails). I intend to make gradual progress through the collection, advancing on two fronts, 1840-1936 and 1937-modern.
