Established in 1856, Stanley Gibbons can trace its origins back almost as far as the Penny Black and is the oldest Stamp dealer in the world! From the humble beginnings of a small stamp counter located at his father’s chemist shop, the business grew exponentially, and by the turn of the century, Stanley Gibbons was the leading light of stamp collecting, with bustling auctions, encyclopedic catalogues and a publication which still leads the market today. Stanley Gibbons is now one of the most established brands in collectables, maintaining its commitment to philately to this very day, recognized by the coveted ‘Royal Warrant’ for philately first awarded by King George V in 1914. Committed to modernizing and introducing the hobby to a new generation.
