    1885: Collection with almost no duplication of worldwide postal stationery cards & reply cards (600+) predominantly mint but some scarce and interesting used examples, nearly all with "Universal Postal Union" in the headings. Note: The Lisbon Congress authorised post-paid reply cards, countries wishing to issue them could do so, but all UPU members were obliged to accept pre-payment of the reply halves. The 1891 Vienna Congress made the issue of reply cards obligatory - they were officially abolished in July 1973.
