Chinese buyers eye top stamp dealer

Stanley Gibbons, the world's oldest stamp dealer, is in talks with Chinese investors about the potential sale of the British company, an official said on Monday.

The company put itself up for sale in June after receiving what it called a "possible" offer from private equity firm Disruptive Capital Finance, led by stamp enthusiast Edi Truell.

The two companies have been in discussion for some time, but no progress has been made so far.
