;) | ST.LUCIA - ILLUSTRATED PRE-STAMP AND GB used PERIOD 1779-1860. Price £24 (WIP-202) I wonder what the financial outlay would be to own all the stamp catalogues ever produced, and how many years it would take to harness all the illustrated pre-stamp and QV covers, plus the dated information (of non-illustrated items) in the most famous of the early named Sales. Even on the easiest flowing days harnessing 50 scans is tough going and exhausting (50 x 365 = 18,250) and my current scan total is 92,922. St. Lucia pre-stamp shows how the island was very much influenced by the French and unlike other British Islands entires are found from Martinique travelling through Castries to FRENCH PORTS. Also there are those travelling through from Antigua and Tortola. Handstamps employed are the ST. LUCIA fleuron, the double arc, and the PAID AT ST. LUCIA, not forgetting the elusive SOUFRIERE dbl-arc. The scarcity turns to great rarity with very few GB used in going to Barbados, Bordeaux, and London. Many of the 81 illustrated items are part or full in b/w, arranged in chronological sequence with provenance attributed when known.

;) | THE MALTA "M" OBLITERATOR PERIOD 1857-1850, mainly illustrated 250 covers. Price £80 (WIP-149) The most astute collector will be wondering whether any "M" obliterator REGISTERED mail exists.
