Rare Display

A rare display of the artist's final, drawings, and printer's proofs, have been on display at the Stamp Den in Bright Street. The display is rare because the exhibits are the only ones in existence. Being originals, with no copies, they are usually kept under safe-guard by the Post Office in Wellington. The Stamp Den is a mail order business, operated by Mr and Mrs Craig Williams and son Skip, for a world wide clientele. In the display are the originals of this year's vintage car series, and also those for the latest issues of the Tokelau and Niue Islands.
