About Us

Rasdale Stamp Company's first auction was held by its founder, Joseph Rasdale, in 1932 while living in the mini stamp Mecca — Elsie, Michigan. After Joe's death in 1958, his sons Jim and Dick took over the company, continuing to hold auctions in Detroit until moving to Chicago in 1967. They started to add more staff in the 1970s. Linda, their sister, joined in 1972 as the office manger and describer.

The 1980s began another expansion period with the addition of the grandsons Kim Kellermann, as a United States describer, and his brother Kevin, a foreign describer. Upon the retirement of Jim, Dick and Linda in 2002, Kim and Kevin took over the firm and moved to our present location in Westmont.
