Stamp Valuations in Peterborough
It can be hard to negotiate the path of selling, valuing and auctioning a stamp collection, and knowing which one is best. If you are considering selling your stamp collection, it’s worth getting it valued from a respected stamp valuer. At Tony Lester Auctions Ltd, we are happy to provide you with two options; purchase or auction estimate.
After having your stamp collection valued, you can choose to sell via purchase, where you’ll be provided with a purchase price for your complete purchase of your stamp collection. This is always offered with minimal fuss and no subsequent or hidden charges to you.

Stamps of Peterborough
[John Clare’s The Progress of Rhyme]
To mark the 250th anniversary of the William Wandsworth’s birth, the Royal Mail released a series of stamps to remember him in April 2020, along with other Romantic poets you might have come across in school.
Lovers of literature will delight in this intricately-designed Presentation Pack, featuring all 10 of The Romantic Poets Special Stamps, alongside fascinating information on the Romantic movement.
Born in Peterborough, John was the son of a farm worker who became known for his celebrations of the English countryside and sadness at how it was changing during the mid-nineteenth century.
Sir Frederick Henry Royce, 1st Baronet, OBE was an English engineer famous for his designs of car and aeroplane engines with a reputation for reliability and longevity. With Charles Rolls (1877 – 1910) and Claude Johnson (1864 – 1926), he founded Rolls-Royce.
Rolls-Royce initially focused on large 40-50 horsepower motor cars, the Silver Ghost and its successors. Royce produced his first aero engine shortly after the outbreak of the First World War and aircraft engines became Rolls-Royce’s principal product.
