Being a Brit living in NZ at the moment I will keep a look out for some NZ / Aussie ones for you. In the past I have come across odd stamps before in kilo-ware but mostly I disposed of them in the unwanted balance of the KW. |

Surprisingly there is not much information about these items on the internet, and what is there is patchy and unconnected. So I have put my collection on a web-site. I hope to keep updating it on a regular basis.

Thanks Bas, on both counts.
Meanwhile I have just received what must be a Sunday School teacher's stock of stamps. Two stock books with stamp sheets, 10 sets of 56 in each. Plus a bunhttp://www.cinderellastampsforum.com/forum_images/post_button_hyperlink.gifdle of loose stamps to boot |

Here's another album, this one from 1914 probably. so its approaching its century and in good nick. Sadly only 19 stamps collected before Alice Kenzie gave up

I am now approaching 60 year sets of these albums, though many do have stamps missing due to no-attendance (tut! tut!).
I have recently obtained two batches of these, each from a single collector. And then I find have have examples of other albums collected by these individuals already in my collection bought at an earlier date. One wonders how this came about. Anyway, in case anybody is following this, or hasn't seen them before and is interested, full deatils of my collection can be found HERE |

I have a new item for this collection and its a bit different from the regular albums. It looks like it has been taken from a booklet or folder, and has "stamps" for 10 attendances, rather than the album's one stamp per attendance. What is unusual is that the stamps, though perforated, are rather thick and are are printed on card.
I have no idea when or where these are from. Would anybody have a guess at the age from the style of the designs please. This style must surely be indicative of a particular era. |

This is a beautiful collection Steve! I have to say I do have a bit of a soft spot for these. Don't know why, I'm not at all religious, despite (or possibly because of) attending Vacation Bible School as a wee tyke. But my cinderella collection sports a few religious items, and they are often quite lovely. Certainly the churches made good use of labels.
I'd say that last batch is early 20th century, 1900 to post WWI at least. Nice.

Fascinating! I have a little album around somewhere too. I'll have to dig it out and add to here! I'm of the opinion that anything given out for free on a Sunday morning would certainly have gotten me into church on a Sunday! :-)
