About This Item
Fort Worth: T.P. Martin, Jr. & Co, 1886. Very good.. Vol. 1, No. 1. [4]pp. on a folded sheet. Light wear, a few small chips at edges. The first issue of this short-lived Texas periodical on stamps and stamp collecting, edited by B.G. Chaney. The feature article is titled "Advice of a Collector," which includes such practical advice as "beware lest you should undertake too much and your collection become a task instead of a pleasure." There is also an article on counterfeits which claims that the rate of disreputable dealers is on the rise, which will lead to disgust and discouragement among young collectors. The final two pages is comprised almost entirely of advertisements for stamp dealers and collecting agents. Rare and ephemeral -- we locate issues at the University of Texas at Austin and Dallas, and the British Library. None in auction records.
