Wonder Color Gauge

  • The Wonder Color Gauge was developed to provide philatelists with a dependable, convenient and accurate standard of comparison of the many colours referred to in stamp catalogues, with their various shades and tints, in which stamps are printed. Many stamp collectors have difficulty in properly identifying different shades of stamps, and the Wonder Color Gauge classifies 140 shades and colors, covering most of the range of colours that have been generally used in the printing of postage stamps throughout the world.  Especially useful for the stamps of Canada and the United States.

  • Scott has never produced a a Color Guide so, despite its limitations, the Wonder Color Gauge is the best available color gauge key for identifying stamps using Scott Catalogue terminology.  Follows the color names and shades used in the Scott Catalogues.  Size: 6" X 3¼".

  • There are better philatelic colour guides on the market but NOT at this price and not using the color names found in Scott Catalogues. The best on the market is the Stanley Gibbons Gauge with 200 colours (Gibbons colour names) but it retails for $75.00 and up! The Michel Colour Guide (in German) is also over $75.00!
