Steve Hiscocks
An 1894 telegraph stamp of Ceylon.
Dr. Steve E.R. Hiscocks (died 4 October 2010[1]) was an expert on telephone and telegraph stamps who in 1982 wrote the first catalogue on the subject since Walter Morley's work of 1900. He also wrote the first ever catalogue of telephone cards (1988) and the first catalogue of telegraph seals (2007).
Outside collecting, Hiscocks was a civil servant in the Department of Energy of the British Government.[2]
