Theodor Buhl

Theodor Buhl (1864/1865 - 11 October 1922[1]) was a London stamp dealer who published Stamp News, which he also edited until 1895. In 1890 he was offered the business of Stanley Gibbons, who was retiring, but declined it as too expensive at £20,000. It was subsequently sold to Charles Phillips for £25,000.[2] In 1892 he bought the business of Pemberton, Wilson & Co (London), and with it the rights to The Philatelic Record which he later merged with Stamp News.[3] In the same year he was a witness at the trial of Bernhardt Assmus.[4] Buhl kept a general stock but specialised in the stamps of South America and Messrs. Buhl and Co., Limited sponsored a Gold Medal for the best collection of the stamps of Peru at the London Philatelic Exhibition of 1897.[5]
