Stamp Collector

and the paper's ads demonstrate the latest

The paper used to produce a Calendar yearly.
Beside the traditional Holidays, the dates of
major Stamp Shows across the US are noted.
The calendar in this Auction is dated 1983 with
pages from January through December.
It was created and published by Van Dahl Publications.
In 1983, Ken Wood was the Editor Emeritus.
He collected stamps for more than 45 years, wrote
about philately, in particular topical collecting,
including a three-volume encyclopedia.
Mr. Wood was also an accomplished artist.
In this year's calendar, Ken Wood combined his
love of stamps with his artistic talents to create
twelve pages of Stamps from these
Remote Areas of the World:
The Faroes
Gilbraltar
Mozambique
Comoros
Laos
Ivory Coast
Malta
Trinidad and Tobago
Pitcairn
Papua New Guinea
French Guiana
Tristan da Cunha

The pages are all crisp and unmarked and the stapled binding
is all intact with no rust on the staples.
The edges are rubbed a bit and the cover and pages show some dirt.
One corner of the cover is gently bent.
The calendar measures 8.5 inches x 11 inches closed
and 11 inches x 17 inches open.
It has a hole pre-cut for hanging on your wall.

My Dad was a Philatelist and this hung in the
'Stamp Room' for a year and then went into Storage -
both smoke and pet-free environments.
The other item was a gift to my Dad, from one of
his customers, probably in the 70s or 80s.
I believe it to be Handmade.

attached by a coat of varnish.
An inch and a half chain is attached.
