Vintage stamp collection in red velvet case
I found a vintage stamp collection this morning around 9:15 AM outside the Western Illinois University Library on University Drive in Macomb, IL. It’s in a small black leather display case with a rich red velvet lining. Inside are about 40 stamps from the 1950s-60s, including a couple of mint-condition U.S. airmail stamps, plus a tiny brass magnifying glass clipped to the lid. There’s a faded handwritten label tucked into the insert that reads 'H. L. Kline, 1958.' The case has a few scratches and the clasp feels a bit loose. It seems like something a serious collector would cherish, and I’d love to help the owner get it back.
Vintage stamp album with red leather spine
Found this vintage stamp album this afternoon around 3pm in the parking lot behind a small antique shop on 16th Street in Rock Island, Western IL. The album has a red leather spine with gold lettering that’s worn, and the cover shows a few scuffs. Inside, there are stamps from the 1920s to the 1950s, including a block of German stamps and a tiny pressed flower tucked between pages. On the back cover is a bright green sticker with the number 27 and a slightly bent corner. I imagine it means something to a real collector, so if this belongs to you, I’d be happy to return it.
