Hello LB1,
Can you tell us more about the LPE cinderellas? I'm sure there's a good story to tell!
Thanks,

So far, great responses on the wish list. If I could add one more, I'd add this, currently for sale at the Bay (but I'm not shelling out 5,500 pounds for it!).

For me it's simple:

That would complete my collection of U.S. with the exception of a few BOB items.

1. Peace and good will among stamp collectors and TROTW (the rest of the world).
2. An immediate and permanent end to Stamporama crusades against eBay, PayPal,
duplicitous postage-stamp producers, USPS, stamp-catalogue editors, ad infinitum.
3. Heightened appreciation for Mr. David Teisler, who, as President of Stamporama,
keeps an undisciplined membership toeing the line in ever-shifting sand.
4. Greater respect for Stamporama's Volunteer Committee for the time and effort
they contribute to the well-being of Club Stamporama.

Hi Nigel
How are you ? You are right about the good story !! But then I would say that wouldn't I ? !
The London Philatelic Exhibition (LPE) was one of the first Stamp Exhibitions. It was held at the Portman Rooms,Baker Street, London in May 1890 to celebrate 50 years since the birth of stamps !
It was at this show that an announcement was made regarding the collecting interests of a certain Prince of Wales, later King George V !! The rest is history, as they say.
Unissued remainders of two Mauritius stamps (Red-Brown,1849 and Blue,1858) were overprinted by MP Castle and perforated by the original printer, Perkins Bacon at the show. Varieties exist. All types are scarce to rare.
The unoverprinted and unissued stamps are listed in Scott as 'unissued' #'s6-7. They are unlisted in Gibbons SOTW.
Approx 2,700 were overprinted. Forgeries abound, especially of the overprints.
One day I'll find one or the other. After all, they are a Number 1 !!

David,
I have a partial pack of old Harris Honor Bilt hinges. There is no date on the package, but I'm guessing mid to late 60's. There are several hundred still in the pack. I haven't used hinges for anything other than experiments in 40 years. I don't know if these things are still good, but they are yours if you want them.
