World War One. But early collectors simply ignored that and carefully cut away the surplus paper, leaving just the octagon. They did the same with circular designs and even more complicated ones. But as perceptions shifted, and stamp collecting began to define itself, this exclusive emphasis on the printed design came to be regarded as mistaken and, unfortunately, to have damaged beyond repair many perfectly desirable stamps. And from an aesthetic point of view, cut-to-shape designs did look rather silly: after all, when you acquired a print of the Taj Mahal to put on your wall, you did not usually cut round the outline all those awkward minarets.

Early collecting focussed on the acquisition of one of each type. Once catalogues started to appear, they channelled the new hobby into what is often called collecting by numbers: the hobbyist was guided towards the aim of obtaining an example of each catalogue-listed type.

Partly as a result, interest in the condition of the individual stamp remained low and almost all collectors habitually damaged the stamps they collected; what mattered was the type, not the token; the category in the catalogue rather than the physical object.

It is as if stamps were mentally placed into the same category as coins and banknotes which in everyday use acquire their exchange value from their type- status not their token-condition, which may be worn and grubby. Inadvertently, it seems, the dealers and catalogue and album publishers who very quickly emerged and began to play a key role in defining the hobby, did play a major part in turning attention towards the token object.

Central to the commercialisation of the hobby became the proliferation of more and more collectible types. As if all that was not enough, a more complicated distinguisher was located in the complexities of printing history. Stamps were often printed in vast quantities using heavy plates or stones. Those were subject to wear or damage. All those production features were reflected through a magnifying glass, at least in the appearance of the published stamp, and all could be turned into collectible varieties, and were.

All these differentiating features obliged closer attention to the peculiarities of each token stamp beyond the usually obvious fact of the general type to which it belonged. A damaged stamp might be missing an important distinguishing feature. Great Britain in the Victorian period, for example, had post offices not only in its colonies which very soon began to be supplied with distinctive stamps but also in foreign countries with unreliable international mail services.

Those post offices used British stamps but cancelled with distinctive postmarks; the offices were usually in seaports and the mail could be picked up by passing ships and, often, by dedicated Royal Mail packet boats Paquebots. Stamps with such exotic postmarks were, of course, much scarcer than ordinary domestically-used ones. Such endless differentiation was not only a source of income for the dealers and catalogue makers who emerged as early as the s1, but appealed to the obsessional collector willing to devote time to seeking out small varieties and – hopefully – locating a rare one.

The commercialisation of stamp collecting as a hobby created a very lively global market, which still exists, and in which fortunes are occasionally made – and at least as much by luck a lucky find than judgment. But as at the gaming table, luck and judgment together are not a bad combination. All this indicates that through time, conceptions and understandings of the identity of the collectible object changed.

So too did ideas about how it was to be handled. Fairly quickly, the idea that stamps could be pasted down in an album was abandoned. There was the obvious disadvantage that it made it impossible to move stamps around or buy and sell them individually. For a period, the gummed margins on whole sheets of stamps – what is called the selvedge – were cut up and used to make small improvised hinges. When buying stamps at the post office counter, people asked for such selvedge to be left on with a view to making use of it this way.

The habit of peeling stamps off letters or cutting them off as close as possible to their edges was abandoned in favour of soaking and washing because only in that way could type of paper wove, laid, … and watermark be readily identified. He moved to London, eventually settling in The Strand in the s; the company still exists and the shop is still there and still selling stamps as well as all the associated collecting paraphernalia, of which albums and catalogues remain the most important.

Each country had its own pioneers whose names were and sometimes still are associated with albums and catalogues: the brothers Senf in Germany; Moens in Belgium; Yvert et Tellier in France.

But most stamp inks were designed to be water-resistant rather than water-soluble. Small technologies and techniques for preparation of the collectible object exist in most collecting fields and are used to catch think butterflies , examine magnifying glasses , measure, and store albums, drawers, frames. For stamps the technology evolved to produce purpose-designed tweezers USA: tongs, pincettes, Pinzette to move stamps around.

Tweezers are not only convenient; they also protect the stamp from dirty or sweaty fingers and are now used by any collector concerned with condition. I can recall being shocked one day on a visit to an elderly and well-known collector who still picked up his stamps by licking his forefinger and using it thus to pick up the stamp.

Sometimes, when I am washing stamps from very old collections it occurs to me that the water in which I soak them becomes a weak solution of vegetable gum from the original stamp and the hinges, to which is added the DNA-carrying human spit which wetted both.

To counteract the coating effect on the stamps being soaked, I rinse them several times.
