[Washington Stamp Exchange press release]
Washington Stamp Exchange of Florham Park, New Jersey is pleased to announce the sale of its White Ace line of stamp albums to Alco Distributors of Marion, Ohio. Also included in the sale is the StampMount brand line of stamp mounts and holders. White Ace and StampMount have long been two of the most popular brands amongst collectors in the United States. After the transfer of the White Ace and StampMount inventory is completed, Alco will quickly begin production of White Ace supplements for 2018 stamp issues. Alco will soon start to accept orders for its new product lines through the website washpress.com.

White Ace stamp albums were introduced in the 1940s with the publication of an album for United States commemorative singles. That album has remained the brand’s biggest seller. Other albums were quickly introduced for US commemorative plate blocks and for regular issue singles and plate blocks. As White Ace grew in popularity, the company expanded the product line to include albums for a number of countries including Canada, Israel, Ireland, Japan, the United Nations and many more. It also produces supplies such as binders, dust cases, first day cover albums, and numerous other items used by philatelists. From the very beginning White Ace has always been a name synonymous with quality products.

StampMount produces a line of mounts and holders made of archival quality mylar film in a wide range of sizes. Unlike many brands of mounts, StampMounts are pre-cut and sealed on three sides. They are affixed to an album page using an adhesive strip. The mounts are offered with both clear and black backs. StampMounts are much thinner than other brands but extremely durable, qualities which have made them a very popular choice for philatelists.

Alco Distributors is located at 1600 Marion-Bucyrus Road, Marion Ohio 43302 and has provided quality stamp and coin supplies for over 5 decades. They are very excited to carry on the White Ace and StampMount tradition of great products for years to come. They will continue to carry the same line of products, while also updating supplements and adding new albums to the line. According to the ownership of Alco “Our goal is to make quality products that collectors want. We are happy to supply collectors with great products made in the USA!”
