Re: [lace] Re Stamp raffle
Thank you Jeanette, my Emily Hobhouse stamp and bio arrived yesterday. The envelope had DH wondering what I could be receiving from SA. But then what with bobbin exchanges and ebay purchases he didn't worry about it. This has inspired me to pursue a project of framing my growing collection of stamps.

I have had 20 requests all in all and the pocket snake has decided that all twenty can have a stamp.

Re: [lace] Re Stamp raffle
As the daughter and wife of avid stamp collectors, I can offer at least one option to you. My husband uses Showgard mounts, but there are several other brands, too. The particular style he likes is an opaque dark plastic backing with an upper clear plastic layer bonded to it along one side. The back of the dark layer is adhesive, so you can moisten it and then affix it to the sheet on which you're mounting and framing. The mounts come in many sizes. To use them, you just cut to size, separate the two layers, and slide the stamp in. He uses long strips and cuts them to the desired size for the stamp. For albums, he puts the sealed end on the top, but for a frame that's hanging on the wall, I think I'd put the sealed end at the bottom, to prevent the stamp from sliding out. I did a Google search and found a US company that sells them by mail order http://www.mdstamp.com/, but any stamp collecting shop will have something similar. Malvary, I did a google search stamp collecting supplies ottawa and came up with http://www.iankimmerly.com/index.php.

Re: [lace] Re Stamp raffle
Malvary, several years my DS and dgs frame some lace stamps for me. At the stamp, store they purchased some little glassene stamp backs.,..tabs that collectors use to mount stamps in albums. Everything is till hanging and out where can see them everyday. I will bet that you can Google or Ebay and find some.

Re: [lace] Re Stamp raffle
Oh, yes! BarbE is referring to stamp hinges. Please don't use them! Your stamps may not be highly valuable, but whatever their value, it is diminished when you affix the stamp to a page with a hinge. These are small glassine strips with adhesive on one side. You fold them in half, glue side out, lick one half and stick it on your stamp, then lick the other side and stick it on the page. By doing so, you have disturbed the gum on the back of the stamp, and it is no longer NH in stamp collector parlance - never hinged. Use the mounts to treat your stamps kindly!

[lace] Re Stamp raffle
Malvary, When I purchased a block of 4 stamps I just bought a small frame and cut a piece of matt board to fit the sise. I then laid the stamps on the center of the mattboard, no glue or anything, slid the mattboard into the frame behind the glass. They have been there for years hanging up and have never moved in the frame.

Emily Hobhouse is winging her way across the world. I posted to the East to Australia, to the West as far as California , to the north to Estonia, Sweden and Finland but not to the South.
