Vintage stamp and coin collection in red-sealed tin
I found a small metal tin this afternoon around 2:15pm near the Gateway Arch grounds along Market Street in St Louis. It's about 6 inches long, 3 inches wide, 2 inches tall, a little dented but solid, with a bright red wax seal on the lid and a handwritten label that reads 'RHC Collection.' Inside there’s a neat stack of vintage stamps on faded album sheets, plus a few old coin folders peeking out. The stamps look mid-20th century, with a mix of commemoratives and a couple blocks still attached; a tiny hinge remnant sticks to one page. I’m posting this here because I figure a collector would appreciate it and I’d feel better knowing it could go back to its owner.
Red leather stamp album, vintage collection
I found a red leather-bound stamp album from the 1950s this afternoon around 2:30pm behind the St. Louis Science Center, near the Forest Park entrance on Education Way. It's about 8 by 6 inches and has a brass clasp that still works, plus a blue ribbon bookmark sticking out. Inside, there are a handful of old stamps with tiny handwritten notes in the margins and a small envelope labeled 'R. Kimura' in pencil. The cover shows gold lettering 'Stamps of the World' with a faded embossing of a palm tree, and the whole thing is a bit worn from years of handling. It looks like someone spent a lot of time collecting, and I can tell it matters to them—if this is yours, message me here and we can arrange a safe return.
Mint-in-box 1984 Kenner Star Wars Boba Fett found
I found a mint-in-box 1984 Kenner Star Wars Boba Fett action figure this afternoon around 3:15 pm in the parking lot behind the St Louis Science Center, near the planetarium entrance. The card back is blue with a clean blister, and the figure still looks untouched, with the blaster tucked under his arm. There's a small price sticker on the back reading $29.99 from a vintage shop, and the blister has a touch of yellowing along the edges. If this belongs to someone, I’d be happy to help get it back; it’s a pretty iconic piece for any collector, and I know it probably means a lot to a Star Wars fan.
