John Lennon's childhood stamp album
circa 1950
John Lennon was a schoolboy when his cousin Stanley Parkes gave him this hardcover Mercury stamp album. It originally belonged to Parkes, who encouraged Lennon's interest in stamp collecting.
More than 550 stamps are included from countries such as the United Kingdom, India, and the United States. New Zealand is well-represented because Lennon collected the stamps from his family's correspondence with numerous relatives there. |
