ROYAL STAMP COLLECTION
Rare English And Empire Specimens
· London, Jan. 21. The King was an ardent stamp collector, but few real.se how deep and personal was his attachment to the pastime. Many years ago he wrote to an int.mate friend that stamp collecting "is one of the greatest pleasures of my lie." and it was to the stamp room at Buckingham Palace that his Ma Jesty likeɗ to go for an occasional hours's rellet from his busy daily round. trying times of the war, he was of Enjoy brief spelle detachment, and relaxation from

- NO "FOREIGN" STAMPS At an early stage in his collect Ing career the King set himself a definità objective, and kept his own collections within the limits he then defined.
He eliminated
all "foreign" stamps, and decided
of
to collect only the stamps of the United Kingdom and the Empire. This is a field large enough for any individual collectär, and far too large for most. But in ip- wards of 150 albums in the stamp room the King formed the greatest collection extant of the stamps of the Empire.
Historically the Ruyai collection British stamps is the must contains many important, for it unique documents and specimens relating to th: stamps of our own country.

SENSATION RECALLED There is no dominion, colony or protectorate of which the King did not possess a collection, and in nearly every case the collection is complete. In point of value the Mauritius section is probably the most important. In 1904 a sensa- tion was caused by the discovery of a perfect copy of the 26 "Post Office" Mauritius in an old school- boy's album in North London. It was sold at Messrs Puttick and simpson's for £1,450, the record price at that time for any stamps, and it became known later that it Its was bought for the King." present value would be about £5,000.
