Amongst some of my bric-a-brac of philatelic items I came across this 1949 stamp magazine by the name of " Monthly stamp digest " with a price tag of 6d .
I recall buying it at a collectors fair during the 1960s when this sort of material was more abundant, but I can't remember just how much I paid for it, possibly about 2/- at the time (10p in today's money)
Small magazines of this nature can be an invaluable source of information for today's collector relating to trends at the time, amongst it's list of contents is the 1948 Silver Wedding commonwealth omnibus issue, as at that time they would have been a 'new issue' but must have been very costly to purchase due to many individual stamps having a high face value.
From information received it was first published in 1946 by Stamp Mirror with the last issue of this magazine being published in August of 1950, therefore it only had a very short lifespan of around 4 years possibly having only a small circulation.Therefore I was lucky to have come across it.
Here is an interesting page from its contents. >
