;) | PAID AT ANTIGUA + PAID AT ENGLISH HARBOR mostly illustrated Crowned Circles 1850-1873. Price £40 Although scarcer in numbers than its Barbados CC counterpart (149 covers, SG. Cat.£600) the PAID AT ANTIGUA (SG Cat.£950), and elusive PAID AT ENGLISH HARBOUR (SG Cat £9,000); and available to less better destinations (Barbados, Canada, Madeira, Nevis, Nova Scotia, St. Lucia, St. Kitts, St. Thomas) - as Barbados has 14 destinations, this pdf is much more interesting. 94 entires, arranged in chronological order, mostly illustrated, provenance with printing quantities of adhesives sent out interspersed, and showing faked entires of the very rare ENGLISH HARBOR (with another oddball idea from Lea as a forerunner). Definitely a worthwhile acquisition, price £40.
