Tom Walker, Reading, UK provided me with a CD of scanned images of nearly
every cone shell on a stamp from his collection. He also provided a
spreadsheet of information about the stamp which I then converted to HTML
and linked to the images. The result makes for a useful resource for cone
shell addicts and philatelists alike - and some of the images are truly
imaginative and beautiful. Thanks Tom for such a comprehensive collection -
and a good on-screen view.
