Stamps, circa 1890-2015
Scope and contents
Stamps originally housed in envelopes. The stamps have been rehoused in individual pockets in sleeves, but the original envelopes have been kept at the beginning of each section. The labelled envelopes are: 'Sverige stamps', 'French stamps', 'Chinese stamps', 'Canada stamps', 'U.S.A. stamps', 'Victorian stamps', 'N. Zealand stamps', 'English stamps', and 'Australian stamps'. The handwriting on the envelopes appears to be a young hand. The other stamps were stored in used envelopes addressed to the following people: '[N?]. G. McPherson Esq., Stock Exchange Club, Collins Street Melbourne'; 'Mrs Clive McPherson, Boomanoomana, Mulwala N.S.W.'; 'Mr [N G?] McPherson' (torn envelope); 'Miss Mabel Laidlaw, 98 Maroubra Rd Toorak'; and 'Mrs Clive McPherson, Boomanoomana, Mulwala N.S.W.' (initial address 'Quamby Club Melbourne' is crossed out).
