About Us

My name is Robin Cassell and I have been collecting, and to a lesser extent dealing, in GB Victorian stamps and postal history for 30 years. My particular interests are Mulreadies, their caricatures and pictorial envelopes ; repairs to the imperforate issues, in particular plates 1-40 ; distinctive and coloured crosses and cancellations. If you have any particular wants, please let me know and I am almost bound to have something in stock that will be of interest - our online stock is only a part of what we have to offer.

I am currently working on a book on the Mulready caricatures and would welcome corresponding with anyone who has used examples, or copies of the scarcer unused types, so that the details may be included in the book with photo and full acknowledgement. This has been a project of several years now which is nearing fruition, so please contact me as soon as possible. Additionally I co-run a very active internet forum called the Mulready Group which discusses all things to do with GB Queen Victoria philately and has around 300 members from all around the world. If this is of interest, the group may be found here : http://groups.yahoo.com/group/mulready/ ; membership is moderated, you will need to apply to join. It is not really a trading forum, although members do trade off site, it is though most definitely a discussion group.
