Stamp-collecting Difficulties
Dear Aunt Daisy, My problem is this: I have a number of valuable stamps, being a keen stamp collector, and some are badly marked with dirty finger prints. They are not defaced or in very bad condition, but only have these dirty marks on them. I have tried to remove the stains with a damp cloth, but with little success, for I either ruin the stamp altogether or some faint marks still remain. Now I was wondering if you could advise me on getting something which would remove the marks altogether without ruining the colour scheme of the stamp and returning them to their former whiteness. I would be very grateful if I could find out what to purchase or to make up. I’ve read the letters of so many people whose problems seem to have been made straight by your advice.M.GS., South Island. I feel sure that we shall get an answer from one of the many stamp collectors in New Zealand.
