Stender Scandinavian Stamp Albums

When you want the best economical home for your Scandinavian stamp collections, ask for Stender Albums. Stender Albums have been crafted in Denmark since before WWII and have an excellent reputation. They are the only albums available for all the Scandinavian countries that are designed and made in Scandinavia. This makes a difference -- the album page layouts, and what is included on the pages, simply make more sense! I urge you to compare Stender Albums with any other album -- I think that you will be impressed with Stender's quality and my low prices.

The paper and printing are exactly the same for both the pages with and without mounts. Like many high-quality albums, the pages have slots at the binding side to help the pages lay flat. The binders are simple screw-post binders (no complicated mechanisms to break) and have the country name imprinted in gold on the spine. The binders are in a different single color for each country.

Images of representative pages are shown at the bottom of this page.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR PREVIOUS STENDER ALBUM USERS

Superb/Deluxe BINDERS and the album sets using Superb/Deluxe BINDERS are NO LONGER AVAILABLE.

During COVID, the publisher of Stender Albums informed us that their manufacturer for the Superb/Deluxe binders and Superb/Deluxe slip cases had suddenly sold out to another company without advance notice, and that the new company discontinued making the Superb/Deluxe binders and slip cases. We purchased all remaining stock of Stender Superb/Deluxe binders and slip cases that the Stender publisher had, but all the binders have now sold out and only a few slip cases are still available. Though the Quality binders continue to be available, the Stender publisher has, so far, been unable to come up with an alternative premium-style binder to replace the Superb/Deluxe binders; the tooling cost for making the necessary metal mechanism is apparently not economically viable. This means that Superb/Deluxe binders or Superb/Deluxe complete albums with binders ARE NO LONGER AVAILABLE. I am sorry for this situation, but it has been completely out of our control.

Note: When we purchase collections, we are sometimes able to obtain gently used Stender binders and slip cases. Because they are of varying ages, from different production runs, their color shade and surface texture varies. If you might be interested in any such items please let use know of your interest.

The previously available "Quality" style binder continues to be available, though there has been some changes over the years in which colors are assigned to which countries. The Quality binder style is pictured at the top of this page. Quality binders have the country name imprinted on the spine. Each country's Quality binder is available in only one standard color; see the Quality albums and binders listing for that binder color information. The Quality binders are less costly than were the Superb/Deluxe binders.

Despite the change in binders, the hingeless (previously called "Superb"; pages WITH mounts) page sets are now just called "hingeless" and are still available. The hingeless pages perfectly fit in the currently available binders.

Stender Scandinavian Stamp Albums & Page Sets

Top

Stender albums are offered hingeless, WITH STAMP MOUNTS already installed and also withOUT stamps mounts. The mounts in the "hingeless" albums are Hawid-brand (open-3-sides) clear mounts that are the same as typically used by all the major stamp album makers.

DANISH WEST INDIES & SLESVIG Albums and Pages

Though DWI & Slesvig totals only a few pages, we do get requests from clients who want these pages, especially for DWI.

There is no binder specifically imprinted for DWI and Slesvig, thus the choices are: 1) Wine-Red imprinted for Denmark ("DANMARK"); 2) Generically-imprinted binder with "Stender Album" in Wine-Red, Blue, or Black. Please specify your preference.

DENMARK CHRISTMAS SEALS Albums and Pages

These pages have spaces only for a single seal of each year (or in some cases perhaps more than one random example from a multi-design issue). Currently the pages only go through 2018; in the past, supplements have been issued only every several years.

These pages do not have spaces for full sheets of multi-design issues. If you wish to include the multi-design sheets in your collection, I recommend adding blank pages of the border-only type.

There is no binder specifically imprinted for Danish Christmas Seals, thus the choices are: 1) Wine-Red imprinted for Denmark ("DANMARK"); 2) Generically-imprinted binder with "Stender Album" in Wine-Red, Blue, or Black. Please specify your preference.

SWEDEN Albums and Pages

The SWEDEN Stender Album pages withOUT MOUNTS IS AVAILABLE.

However, SWEDEN HINGELESS (WITH mounts installed) album/pages is NOT available. [Years ago, when the previous owner of the Stender publisher redesigned the album pages to accommodate the extra space -- larger boxes are needed around each stamp -- required for stamp mounts, the publisher never did the redesign for Sweden. The current Stender publisher does not have the resources to do such a large redesign for what is a relatively small sales volume. (Recent Sweden pages have been properly designed, but it would be a huge job to go back and redesign the entire album, which would surely also result in moving some stamps from one page to the next, etc.) The box around each stamp IS large enough to properly accommodate a stamp hinged into the space, but if one tries to apply stamp mounts, the mounts have to be larger than the boxes, and sometimes look awkward or too close together. The publisher does offer for sale that Sweden album design with mounts, but we do not offer it because we do not think it is up to a reasonable standard of appearance. (We could supply the hingeless [with mounts] version on a special order basis -- it can take several months to arrive -- but we would not accept returns if the album layout / mount application is not acceptable to the purchaser. Again, the Sweden album has a perfectly fine layout as long as you are not trying to use it with stamp mounts.]

Stender Binders

Top

Every Stender album comes complete with one or more binders (unless you order pages-only where offered). However, if you plan on expanding your collection with continuing new issue stamps and/or blank pages for additional items, we recommend that you go ahead and get order an extra binder now while you can be absolutely sure of a precise dye-lot color match. If you plan on adding the new issue stamps for larger countries, you may wish to obtain more than one extra binder. Each country binder is gold-stamped with the country name and is in a different (single) color. The binders are sturdy and nice looking, and will fit any Stender pages. (These are the same binders that had been named "Quality" style.) There are also generic binders available in some colors, with "STENDER ALBUM" on the spine, for non-country specific uses.

Slipcases / Dust Covers

Top

Every Stender album comes complete with one or more binders (unless you order pages-only where offered). However, if you want extra protection for your album, I recommend getting slipcases for the binders. If you plan on getting slipcases someday, go ahead and get them now while you can be absolutely sure of a color match with your binders.

Illustrations of Representative Pages

Top

Denmark first page. Note that the major color differences are included. More specialized varieties, that are of interest to only some collectors, are included in a group of "variety" pages.

Iceland page. Showing presentation of modern issues.

Sweden page. In the case of stamps like the typical Swedish booklet panes and pairs, Stender albums show both the complete pane/pair and the component singles. In the example below, the first two rows contain coil stamps. The third row contains both the pair and component singles of one issue. The remainder of the page shows a block and its component singles.

Blank page. Only a blank page with border only is illustrated. Use this type of page to add covers and other interesting items to your collection. (A page with gray underprint / quadrille is not illustrated because the quadrille is so lightly colored that it will not show up. Quadrilled pages do not have an outer border line.)
