I'm just wondering if anyone is familiar with an old stamp album maker, K-Line Publishing, Inc, of Berwyn, IL?

I have a topical Christmas stamp album from them, copyrighted 1962. It contains a forward signed by Robert J. Ciernzniewski.

A few months ago I spent some time online trying to find out more about them, and came up with very little.

Does anybody recall them? What other topics did they make albums for?

Until I came upon this album, I had never heard of them.

Thanks in advance for any and all contributions!

Hi Everyone;

@ Dave;

Gosh it must have been a very thin album! US produced the first Christmas issue in 1962, Scott #1205! Great Britain produced their first ever in 1966, Scott #478/479!! I can't imagine very many collectors being excited about collecting that topic in the early sixties. Puzzled??? Rolling On The Floor Laughing

Might this be an album for Christmas seals and other related charity stamps (cinderellas)?

Thanks for the responses so far!

There were pages for both worldwide & US Christmas stamps and for US Christmas seals. I haven't counted, but I would estimate it totals 60 pages or so for both sections combined. Like the White Ace album series, it includes some descriptive information for most stamps, so that's why it can run to so many pages so quickly.

For some reason I cannot quite explain, I've begin scanning in the pages, whether the page is complete with stamps, entirely void of them, or somewhere in between. Once that's done, I can post a few of them here to help give a feel for the album.

The first US Christmas seals were issued in 1907; the first Christmas seals ever, Danish, in 1904.

K-Line Publishing is now Custom Impressions located in Orland Park, IL.

Custom Impressions
P.O. Box 98
Orland Park, IL 60462-0098

They were established in 1950, They publish several topical albums including Scouting, Olympics and World War II. Also, country albums of Poland and Czechoslovakia. Their current web site is located at: http://shop.albumpublisher.com/

However, there is also a Bob Yacano who publishes K-Line stamp album pages for the Philippines, which may be a different entity.
