POSTAGE-STAMP FORGERIES
A Lord Justice, after hearing the evidence in an important stamp case, declared that forgery was rampant in the stamp trade, and’ the stamp collector who lias nursed a specimen of some rare stamp for several years and finds out eventually that it is a forgery will agree with 'him (writes a philotelist in the “Daily Mail”). Although there are agencies that test the genuineness of stamps, comparatively few collectors use their services. When the enthusiastic collector acquires a stamp, his first act is to hinge it in its proper place in the album. Here it probably remains until its owner grows tired of collecting and tries to sell his stamps, or until a more expert friend discovers the forgery. And verv often by then the name of the dealer is forgotten. The forger is also considerably helped by the inaction of so-called experts.
