"F S" Catalogue - Sets |
The catalogue contains a list of comic sets by set names - and also the following identifiers
"Stone" | Used for early sets signed as "F Stone" or a suitable variant |
"F S" | Either signed "F S" or identified in the list of "F S" cards published in the Picture Post Card Magazine of March 2009 - in most cases using the same set name.) |
"Dauber" | Signed "Dauber" |
"Spurgin" |
Signed "Spurgin" or a set after 1910 clearly recognised as being by him. The very many sets by Spurgin after 1911 by Inter-Art or Art & Humour are not included in the main index, as they are outside the period covered by this catalogue but many are listed (with some random samples) on the publisher page. |
