;) | ST. VINCENT postmark/cancel A/AP 8 82 on 1881 QV 4d bright blue (SG.38, Cat.£120). Ex DUGGLEBY £60 |
;) | The VINCENT DUGGLEBY "The G.P.O. Cancellations" mounted on his album pages. Price £15 (WIP-284) being the balance of this collection on 30 album pages (some better pages removed) with 226 illustrated items comprising GB/40c (3 pages), various types "A10" in black or red (7 pages), ST. VINCENT cds (6 pages), Kingstown cds in red ink (2 pages), Kingstown in black ink (7 pages), G.P.O. cds (3 pages), miscellaneous (2 pages) with LATE FEE and a re-construction of the 4-line "RECEIVED/GOVT. OFFICE/ST. VINCENT/JAN 18 1900" as old QV stocks were withdrawn from sale 31 December 1899 and seemingly sent to the Treasury for cancellation and most subsequently destroyed. Price £15 (no trade or collector discounts) payable by PayPal or UK bank transfer (note that Barclays Bank account is closed). A useful record sometimes showing how difficult it is to get a good strike on certain issues. (Note: on Page 2 the first with GB/40c does not have REVERSED CA wmk and is SG.48a and not SG.48, and on the worn GB/40c page the lower right mixed ink is not SG.43 but a re-perforated SG.38 as it has upr. small star wmk!) £15 |
;) | RECEIVED GOVT. OFFICE ST. VINCENT JAN 13 1900 and JAN 18 1900 a reconstruction using the QV 1/- orange (SG.58,58a) showing the full framed 4-line "RECEIVED GOVT. OFFICE ST. VINCENT JAN 13 1900" (two dates 13 and 18). Ex DUGGLEBY Remaining stocks of the old QV stamps were withdrawn from sale on 31 December 1899. It seems they were sent to the Treasury for cancellation. Most were subsequently destroyed. £40 |

An exhibition item. The Pierce, Messenger, Robson Lowe handbook (PML) on page 59 confirms a mint pair being the largest known multiples with examples in the Gilbert Lodge collection and the Royal collection (the bluish line shows my scanner needs replacing!) £900 |

;) | PAID AT ST. VINCENT CROWNED CIRCLE ILLUSTRATED COVERS (64) PERIOD 1852-1866. Price £25 (WIP-246) 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 |
