;) | ST. VINCENT TEXT DESCRIPTIONS OF PRE-STAMP AND ADHESIVE COVERS (1,665) 1772-1908. Price £800 St. Vincent postal history takes you on an epic journey, the third earliest letter of 1772 was written during a campaign against the indigenous Caribs and was placed in a bottle and given to a negro who swam out to a passing boat (the negroes being of differing African origin). After that the str. line ST. VINCENT often written by soldiers at Fort Charlotte overlooking the capital Kingstown, no 2-line, but a 3-line ST. VINCENT followed by numerous ST. VINCENTS fleurons (many with the final "S" excised), we've passed the earliest from Bequia (1797) and Mustique (1805), and now move on to descriptions of the Soufriere volcano (1812) which left the island in darkness for three days, and the devastating 1831 hurricane (thousands dead neighbouring Barbados), thereafter the ST. VINCENT dbl-arc (including 14 in red), the PAID at ST. VINCENT Crowned Circle, the GB used at Kingstown, and then the adhesives including the delightful Duke De Polignac correspondence to Paris, plus the must mention inclusion of both abbreviated types (BAR) and extended types (BARROUALLIE) etc village datestamps (the offices opened 1872). On the maritime side probably the widest range of ingoing private ships letters to ports around the British Isles, and the file ends in 1908 so as to include the rare ST. VINCENT SHIP-LETTERS dated cds. There is just too much to mention. This is a very busy "work-in-progress" file (meaning that I am constantly adding information).

;) | "A10" (vertical) used GEORGETOWN, St. Vincent postmark/cancel (PML.5) in red on 1877 QV 6d pale green (SG.23). Ex DUGGLEBY £325 |
;) | ST. VINCENT stamps: 1880 QV 1d olive-green (SG.29), a rare horiz. strip of three pmk'd GPO "A10". It has always been my expectation that a single strike of the "A10" on this QV 1d would be local use, and an over-lapped (second) strike would be from a multiple, but the commonest of this stamp cannot be from locally used survival, and the precision of the strikes on such a small area proves me wrong on two counts. £120 |

You can now order from "BUY THE BEST" section of my shop your own "work-in-progress" DIGITAL pdf copy (no refunds, but you are entitled two free updates when requested). This file has been assembled over 45 years, and the one or two copies sold will be "out there" for the students of the future to analyse and perhaps solve some of the many secrets St. Vincent holds. There are "unknown periods", and some of my observations may, or may not, still apply. Counting these text descriptions took 4 hours (132 A4 pages long), so no attempt has been made to proof read. The counts for offices are Barrouallie (447), Bequia (272), Biabou (181), Bridgetown (104), Buccament (98), Calliaqua (835), Canouan (102), Chateaubelair (397), Colonarie (473), Cumberland (184), Georgetown (547), Kingstown ("K" and ST. VINCENT cds, 482), Kingstown extended cds (689), Layou (225), Mayreau (54), Mesopotamia (331), Peruvian Vale (65), Rabacca (283), Stubbs (465), Union (276) plus smaller offices, "PP", "PD" handstamps etc. Provenance from main stream auctions is given when known, and descriptions from photocopies from other collections are coded. Gone are the days when the gang of 6 comprising Joe Chin Aleong, Ron Cronin, Vincent Duggleby, Peter Jaffe, and myself (the only survivor) would eagerly and regularly meet at Stephen Sharp's house at Pyrford, Woking, Surrey. This file is invaluable (and as such no trade or collector discounts), and buyers will find endless pleasure. Price £500 payable by WISE bank transfer (Barclays, Santander bank accounts closed), or by PayPal. £500 |
