Col. Pratt’s Newfoundland Stamp Collection

The Collectors Club of Chicago (www.collectorsclubchicago.org) board of directors offers here the digital slides of the Col. Robert H. Pratt stamp collections of Newfoundland. The late Col. Pratt, of Milwaukee WI, is considered the pre-eminent Newfoundland stamp and postal history collector, researcher, and author.

Col. Pratt had photographed his collections, retained them as slides, and donated his circa 4,300-slide collection to the Collectors Club of Chicago. The photographic slides were digitalized by Clarence A. Stillions with support from the British North America Philatelic Society (BNAPS).

The images appear as received from Col. Pratt. The original selection had duplication and out of focus items that have been deleted. No changes to the images were made by the CCC website team. The images consist of some early Canada and a large selection of Newfoundland philatelic materials.

Prior to posting here, the nfldstamps.com website owner, John M. Walsh with assistance from Andrew L. Winter, organized the images into sequential dated categories for ease of viewing. The received originals were as jpegs. They were changed to tiffs and placed into PDF formats using Adobe software.

These digital slide image items are and remain the property of the Collectors Club of Chicago. The CCC allows their use for viewers without charge. All credit of use is deemed to be from the CCC, and permission has been given for personal use from the Collectors Club of Chicago. Please designate as such when used.
