I was rooting through my Gerald King heap today and came across an envelope to me with a King of Clubs on a "King's Local Post" label on the front.  Its value is one copper groat.  So I assume there is a spade label too in order to make a full set.

I'm having a rest from Wonderland, Snark & Lundy and getting up to date with the more obscure issues of Gerry King.

So I've added his reproduction of WWI labels from the magazine The Happy Home to the Miscellaneous pages on askme and you can find them just here.  Only 6 sheets exist.  Happy hunting!

I've also added two covers to the Alternative Burma page and these can be  seen at the bottom of this page.

A few Gerry King Alternative Australia sets have started to appear on eBay.  As they are very rare I thought I'd add details of them to the askmeaboutstamps website and you can see them here.  If you like swans and kangaroos you'll be well pleased.

I've added a new page to the askme website to cover Gerry's Alternative GB issues.  I was going to call it GB stamps from unadopted essays (snappy title) but, when I was scanning them I realised that not all meet that description.

I don't know too much about the original frames/essays so, if you have any knowledge about the background to any of the issues that will help me to flesh out the website I'd be pleased to hear it.

Here is a link to the page.

Submitted but unadopted designs. Designer details on the back.


I've only just spotted your post Jesper.  I've checked and the low value set has the designer information added too!  Excellent.  I must look at the back of Gerry's stamps more often Confused

Issue for the 10th Anniversary of the Revenue Society, formerly The Revenue Society of Great Britain.

[The shading on the borders is from the scanning !]

The page will definitely be very helpful...
