Accessories: Various products and tools commonly used
by the stamp collector, including hinges, mounts, stamp tongs, perforation
gauges, stock books and magnifiers. Stamp albums, catalogs and philatelic
literature can also be regarded as accessories.
Adhesive: 1) The gum on the back of a stamp or
label. Some stamps have been issued with no adhesive. Stamp adhesive may be
water-activated or pressure-sensitive (self-adhesive). 2) A word generally
referring to a stamp that may be affixed to an article to prepay postal fees,
in contrast to a design printed directly on an article, as with postal
stationery. An adhesive can also refer to a registration label or other label
added to a cover.
Admirals: A nickname for three British
Commonwealth definitive series, those of Canada, 1912-25 (Scott 104-34); New
Zealand, 1926 (182-84); and Rhodesia, 1913-19 (119-38). These stamps depict
King George V of Great Britain in naval uniform.
