Stanley Gibbons Ltd is a London , UK based company specialising in trading Postage Stamps and related products. The company was founded by Edward Stanley Gibbons in 1856 , the business being founded on an initial purchase of a sackful of rare triangular stamps from the Cape Of Good Hope . From 1865 the company produced a monthly Catalogue . Now, the various Stanley Gibbons stamp catalogues list millions of stamps, and are the ''bibles'' of Philately . ''Gibbons Stamp Monthly'' is also a leading philatelic magazine. The first Stanley Gibbons Stamp Catalog ue was published in November 1865 . During the last hundred and more years it has become more than just a dealer's price list. In the hands of the world's leading stamp dealers and philatelic publishers the catalogue has blossomed into a veritable encyclopaedia of stamps, an authoritative guide to market values and an indispensable work of reference. In 1893 the company moved to its present location at 399 Strand , and in 1914 the company received its Royal Warrant from George V . As well as being a retail business, the company is also an Auction House , and has branched out into Collectables . Today, the Stanley Gibbons stamp catalog is well-known throughout the world.
