| History of bibliophily reaches back to ancient times, while philately came into existence in the second half of the 19th century. |
| The hero of philately became an immortal, but all he really invented was the idea of the glue on the back. |
| Ever since the first postage stamp, the Penny Black, was released, philately has enthralled both the young and the old. |
| In an effort to popularise philately, the bureau has made provisions for a thematic display of stamps of members of the club. |
| A keen coin and stamp collector as well as a dealer in rare stamps and ancient coins, he avers that philately has become a rich-man's hobby. |
| A philately workshop was also arranged to train children in this dying art. |
