;) | INDIA ILLUSTRATED ADHESIVE COVERS PERIOD 1854-1855. Price £90 This was a late starter in my endeavour to record Commonwealth covers for certain countries so many illustrations are still part or full in b/w, but many are also in full colour. Provenance is strong as many important catalogues have been harnessed. This is an active "work-in-progress" file (meaning that I am constantly adding information). You can now order and pay for your own DIGITAL pdf copy (no refunds, but you are entitled to TWO free updates as and when requested). This pdf has descriptions of 243 entires arranged in chronological sequence. Price £90 (no discounts to either trade or collectors as packed with information) payable by PayPal or WISE transfer (ignore Barclays mention at check out as account now closed, and I cannot change, this web shop 22 years old). £90 |
;) | PAID AT ST. VINCENT CROWNED CIRCLE ILLUSTRATED COVERS PERIOD 1852-1866. Price £25 This file manages to illustrate 57 of the known 64 Crowned Circle covers either in part or full b/w, or colour. Two surprises emerge in that when the QV 6d yellow-green issue (SG.2) was exhausted the Post Office could not immediately locate the Crowned Circle and used the ST. VINCENT cds (one instance only), but probably much more interesting is that only two covers are in combination with the fully spelt out SAINT-VINCENT cds which survived the Post Office fire of OC 29 1866, and if my hunch is correct was lost when the "Water Witch", a local vessel, was hired to take passengers off quarantined ships in Kingstown Bay on DE 8 1866. Being an active "work-in-progress" file I hope to add more Crowned Circle covers as they come to light. At the end of this pdf there are 7 QV 1d, 4d, 6d, 1/- "loose" stamps cancelled with the Crowned Circle for you to ponder as there is no explanation for their use. You can now order and pay for your own DIGITAL pdf copy (no refunds, but you are entitled to TWO free updates as and when requested). This pdf has descriptions of 64 entires arranged in chronological sequence, and packed with provenance. Price £25 (no discounts to either trade or collectors as packed with information) payable by PayPal or WISE transfer (ignore Barclays mention at check out as account now closed, and I cannot change, this web shop 22 years old). £25 |
;) | GREAT BRITAIN used with "A01" obliterator (184) at Kingston, JAMAICA (1858-1860). Price £60 You can now order and pay for your own DIGITAL copy by pdf (no refunds, but TWO free further updates can be had as and when requested). 184 covers, a study mostly in b/w, which makes its own statement due the lack of excitement attached to the many 6d packet rate covers to the UK. However, if you think this would be low down on your list for a display, the lack of colour is made up by character, and a fine display can embrace the rare twin "A01", the unique 6d with JAMAICA/SHIP LETTER handstamp to Ryde I.O.W., the 1/- green cover, GB added on incoming transit from Santa Marta, Colombia, mail to the Post Towns, and in addition to the very common 6d packet rates of 3d, 4d, 8d, 9d, 1/-, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 2/-, 2/8d, 3/-, 9/- will be found. Provenance added when known. Price £60 payable by PayPal or WISE transfer. PDFs incur no dreaded import duty, once ordered can be with you in seconds to any part of the World. £60 |
;) | BARBADOS TEXT DESCRIPTIONS OF PRE-STAMP AND ADHESIVE COVERS (2,064) 1656-1899. Price £950 Amongst this extensive listing of 2,064 covers you can have confidence that previously unrecorded new discoveries abound. Barbados has always been very popular with its hand-struck pre-stamp markings, and later colourful Britannia design issues. Many areas can be selected to form an exhibit, and probably everything you expect will be there. This is also a very active "work-in-progress" file (meaning that I am constantly adding information). You can now order and pay for your own DIGITAL pdf copy (no refunds, but you are entitled to TWO free updates as and when requested). This pdf has descriptions arranged in chronological sequence which include the numbered Parish obliterators until they were replaced by bootheel design numbered killers in 1863. Many "loose" stamps have margins cut-down and offered as imperforates but this pdf will enlighten you so that you can spot the doctored items. This pdf is inter-mingled with social history, provenance, dates of shipping disasters etc. Price £950 (no discounts to either trade or collectors as packed with information) payable by PayPal or WISE transfer (ignore Barclays mention at check out as account now closed, and I cannot change, this web shop 22 years old).
