Hi everyone
Like many of you, I use William Steiner's stampalbums.com site for pages. He had a helper make pages for most of the Non-Scott Trucial States issues, but they never did Ajman.
I decided to help him out, using my own ancient copy of PageMaker, the program he originally used to create his pages. I have a set of 161 Minkus pages to 1972, the 2006 Michel Gulf States Catalog, the catalog at StampWorld.com and my own small collection to work with. Unfortunately, it seems to be not enough, as Michel doesn't have the illustrations from 2013 (1972) to 2995 (1973), so I will not be able to size those issues properly, unless I have a copy.
I'm reaching out to see if anyone has any of these stamps and can provide me with sizing information, ideally edge of perforation to edge of perforation, but design size is fine, too. If anyone has a newer version of this catalog, perhaps the illustrations are now present? Also, if anyone would prefer to send me the stamps, I can send them back after doing the measurements.
It's not a country I really care for, but I would like to complete this imposing project.
Dave

I have a few Ajman stamps - CTOs - in my sale binder... Thanks for the kind offer, polarbear, but, amazingly, I have those ones in my own collection. If I didn't the Apollo stamps would have been ones I was looking for measurements for. |

I have a number of stamps from that Michel catalog range. While the total range by catalog number is large, most of it comprised of large sets, especially the butterfly/moths, uniforms, art sets... The only thing you have to watch out for is the occasional "oversized" or "odd-sized" couple of stamps that are sometimes part of the entire set.
I assume you want perf tip to perf tip measurements in mm? It would be helpful if you could create a simple list of Michel numbers in that range for which you already have the measurements. That would save duplication of effort by me or others.
Best wishes on your project!

I have a bunch of Ajman but I have not actually organized them yet. I will scan what I have and let you know.

It's Michel 2013 on that I don't have any size info on. Right now the plan is just to do captions and no boxes, correcting as I receive data. I think what I need is: Description or picture of stamp Michel # if possible. Not everyone has Michel catalogs. (This is the first I've ever owned). Dimensions perf edge to perf edge. I don't know if I can do this from scans. Thanks Dave |

I should probably throw it all on a spreadsheet and post it. |

This project is now complete. Pages are at www.stampalbums.com/. Select "TRUCIAL STATES (Scott & NonScott)" It looks like 1973 will be posted at the end of the month. There's a note at the beginning of the 1972 file asking for sizes on some of the later stamps and souvenir sheets. I couldn't find images for those anywhere on the web (Colnect, Stampworld, EBay, Hipstamp, Delcampe...). So my appeal above still stands. I'll post a list of everything I'm looking for later. |

Thank you for the contribution to Bill's project. It has been a blessing for many collectors like me that used them.
