A. B. Kay
Alexander Berridge Kay (1879〔(Who Was Who in British Philately ) Association of British Philatelic Societies 2010. Retrieved 3 April 2011.〕 - 4 December 1944〔"Deaths", ''The Times'', Friday 8 December 1944, p.1.〕) was the founder, with E.J. Bridger, of the stamp dealers ''Bridger and Kay'' in 1897 or 1898〔(Our Company ) Bridger & Kay, 2011. Retrieved 3 April 2011.〕 and a leading figure in the Fiscal Philatelic Society. In 1910, Kay identified used copies of the Italian forgery of the British grey-green Victorian 10 shilling stamp watermarked anchor and perforated 14. His letter to The London Philatelist, published in November 1910, warned the philatelic community of its existence.〔"Correspondence" in ''The London Philatelist'', Vol. XIX, No. 227, November 1910, p.278.〕
==Bridger & Kay==
The firm of Bridger & Kay was formed in 1897 or 1898. Bridger and Kay had both been civil servants previously.〔Kay's appointment as a "Temporary Boy Copyist" in the Civil Service is recorded in ''The London Gazette'', 20 March 1894, p.1663. (Link here. )〕 Later, Bernard Leverton joined, and his son Allan Leverton in 1942. The firm was first located at 71 Fleet Street, London E.C., then Aldwych, moving to The Strand in 1938 and to Pall Mall in 1978 under Allan Leverton's stewardship.〔"Madame Joseph - The Origin?" by Brian Cartwright in ''The London Philatelist'', No.1344, Vol.116, April 2007, pp.102-104.〕 The firm continued until it went out of business in 1995. It was then purchased by the Bristol stamp dealer Steve Ellis.〔Birch, Brian. ''Biographies of Philatelists and Dealers''. 9th edition. Standish, Wigan: 2008, p.259.〕
