I've been dipping in and out of an album of stamps that was put together by my grandfather in the 1930s. I don't know much about the subject although I've researched a few. There don't appear to be any big-ticket items but it's fun researching them.

Are there any stamp fans in the house?

My wife loves collecting stamps. Apart from used stamps going back heaven knows how many years, she buys every first day cover that is put out by Australia Post. When I'm in Britain I have to chase UK stamps and small collections for her!

I don't think she has any particularly rare ones, but she gets a lot of fun sorting out the geography of some of the older ones where countries have changed their name. political allegiances and currency. e.g. most European currencies are now Euros.

A very old, but still popular hobby!

I've got an album somewhere. Most of the stamps date from the same era as this car.
