Ugh, okay, so I saw something on ebay a while back and had it on my watchlist. I didn't bid, it didn't sell, it was relisted, and I accidentally deleted it from my watchlist. ANYWAY...
It was a sort of mini stockbook/album thing with a snap closure - the shape of it looked somewhat like this (I believe the edge of the flap was angled rather than straight):
Proabably around 5x7 in. (~127x178 mm.) Maybe 4 double-sided white pages with four or five rows of clear strips.
I thought it looked like the perfect little book to hold my discount postage and keep in my bag.
I have searched ebay and Googled, but I cannot find one of these darn things... are they really that "rare" or am I just not using the right search terms??

I have one in front of me.
Let me have your address, and I'll mail it to you.
7" x 9"
Not rare, abound in club auctions with little collections of small countries.
Too heavy for your bag I should think.

No, no. Wouldn't the shipping be way too much? I'm just wondering what kind of search terms I need to try to find one of these darn things! I'm fairly certain that the one I saw was smaller, closer to 5x7. I've looked at other small stockbooks (e.g. these Safe Pocket stockbooks), but I really would prefer something with a closure. Of course, right now I'm just using a three-ring binder with a couple of full-size vario-type pages, so even the pocket stockbook would be an upgrade. |

Zuzu, Are you after something small, really pocket size ? Something fancy like the one you showed or just something to put your stamps in ?? New or 2nd hand ?? I have an 8-page [16 side, 7inx9in]or a 4-page [8 side, 5½x7in] or a 5-page [8 side, 4x6in]. Choose one if you want and I'll pop it in the post for free. Good for taking to shows, clubs, swap meets or the post office !! Londonbus1  Edited because I just read Rod's offer. Now you have two offers........you can't refuse !!  |

Very generous! I will think about it... what kind of strips do those have, LB1? (e.g. manilla, plastic, or the glassine-type?)
