Description
A purple leather wallet for holding stamps. Outside covers are double thickness. A 13mm wide strap holds it together with a dome clasp on the front and a keeper on the back. Gold print on front reads "Postage Stamps". Interior has eight pockets concertina fashion with half size leather flaps to stabilise stamps. Each flap has a 16mm viewing hole. Card found inside has a quote from Viscount Grey on it that reads 'There is only one thing worth doing in every department of life, and that is the straight thing'. The quote appears to have been cut from a calendar.
