I just noticed that there are a couple of ebay listing under the name ‘Max Stern’. I assume someone purchased the business when Max died? and still trades? solely online? Certainly one of the great names of Australian philately.
By the way, I’m starting to assemble the Feb issue of PNG calling and would be pleased to have further contributions – small, large, general or specialised – everything is welcome!!

They still have a website:  maxstern.com.au and have an address in Melbourne CBD where you can pick up online orders. They are trading as Max Stern & Co.

I was looking to get a BW catalogue

The name is still registered (since 2008). It’s probably run by a family trust. After the Port Phillip Arcade was redeveloped, they moved to 271 Collin Street, where they’re still trading.

Mr Stern and I had many conversations over the years.
After his passing, the business was continued by his son-in-law, Sam Seigal.
Absolutely top person to deal with, and he often still has items from the old days that many other dealers do not.
Nice to hear from you, Sherro.
