Postal History is one of our most important specialties. Our detailed descriptions and in-depth research provide the collector with a thorough understanding of the material.

Our selections of stamps, proofs and essays allow the collector to obtain seldom-offered stamps, rare multiples, unusual varieties and shades, and other esoterica. Our offerings of locals and cinderellas have included some of the most important collections of this area.

We are justifiably proud of our reputation as leaders in the philately of Central and Eastern Asia. Each of our catalogs features a strong Asian area.

We are always eager to accept consignments for our auctions. We believe that our thorough descriptions, backed with our 10,000 volume reference library, are the best in the world. Our specialist mailing list has been developed over 30 years with advertising in more than 75 different United States and foreign journals. We have held auctions in Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York, and Tokyo. For important collections, "one-owner" sales have been presented.
