Abstract
Abstract A stock sheet for postage stamps and the like that can be used alone, or in multiples to form an album, consists of two sheets of inert, transparent plastic material heat sealed to one another and folded about an intervening record sheet of card on which information can be written. The record sheet can be viewed through the transparent sheets which are heat sealed to one another along their edges in two respective sets. The two sheets of each set are also joined to one another by heat-sealed lines to form a plurality of enclosures for receiving the stamps and the like. Entrance to the enclosures is by cuts in the outer sheet of each pair spaced from the immediately-adjacent joint line to provide a space for the reception and retention of the edge of a stamp therein. The two sets are fastened securely to each other and to the record sheet by heat-sealing through one or more apertures, such as elongated slots, in one edge of the record sheet.
