Loose Stamps

I have completed a review of all the so called spare stamps that I had previously put aside. These are flat loose stamps free of their paper baking. I would have soaked these in a warm bath about 30 yar back to get them free of the original envelope.  However after the recheck I have added over 200 of them to the database which now stands at 1476 stamps in the collection. So to move forward, there are two parts - 1st  the mint stamps waiting in the year books and 2nd the huge number of accumulated paper backed stamps thrown into boxes and bags over the years. In digging around deep in that pile some very old books have surfaced that I cannot remember whose they were.

The written inscription says 'To Roy  June 8  1906'


Probably 1000 to 2000 in this box
