James, I think I am of exactly the same opinions as you. Many thanks for the age guess. Close to mine too. |

And some more card stamps, this time from Germany. Like those above they are printed on card rather than paper, and are perforated. The seller said they were originaly his grandmother's and date from 1905-25. There is some German text on the back in period typeface.
Again three of them seem a bit girly and I wonder if the boys in the classes got ones more masculine. |

Drat!!
Bidding on one of these has gone way over what I would be willing to pay. While most of these albums go for reasonable figure, some older ones do reach good prices. There must be other collectors out there, or these higher price oes are bought for specific reasons. If anybody has one of these and wants to sell please contact me. Or just a scan if you don't want to sell. thanks Steve |

I contacted the Society of the Faith, the successor to the Faith Press, who produced some of the best examples of these stamps and alums in terms of quality, artwork and design. It transpires that they themselves have very little information on this sideline and very little archived material. Much was lost during WWI and when Faith Press went into liquidation. They were impressed enough to put a link on their website to my collection pages

Excellent Steve, where were Faith Press based? There might be someone here local to their area who could look out for items for you in auctions or sales?

The web site detailing my collection has just been updated with a quite a number of new examples. There are about 95-100 sets and albums represeted now, and I am beginning to develop continuous runs of different years.
If only they were: * All complete with stamps * Kept neat and tidy by the kids * Correct stamps were always used |

I recently received these attendance stamps from America. Unlike all the others these are just one design, and rather small at just 20mm tall and 13mm wide. Not very exciting but different.
If anybody knows when or where these were used, or whether and album or collectors card was used it would be appreciated |

Haven't seen those before Steve, although they look so generic they may have been printed by the million. Unusual font on 'Sunday School' - you may be able to date them approximately if you can trace that.

I agree about the quantities possubly printed. Looks like a colour variation there from a different print. It is a distinctive typeface, and my impression is pre-1925
