Buying
We
are constantly striving to increase the TM Collection, both in terms of
quantity and quality. We are therefore always on the lookout for items to add
to our collection. Similarly, we also seek to increase the library content and
the hardware collection.
Generally
we particularly seek collections from before 1939, ideally before 1925, from
anywhere in the world. Another area of items that we are particularly keen to
obtain is current labels, skillets, packet and gross labels presently used in
the Asian, African and South American continents. Similar items are also
required from island nations in the Caribbean, Pacific and Indian Oceans.
Some
of our specific 'wants' are detailed below, but this is just an illustration,
and is by no means an exhaustive list.
If
you are able to offer us anything that we may require, please do not hesitate
to contact us with details of what you are offering and the price required.
Alternatively you may wish to exchange items (see exchanging).
