BRITISH GUIANA TEXT DESCRIPTIONS OF PRE-STAMP AND ADHESIVE COVERS (1,671) 1783-1900. Price £850
(WIP-38) Should we feel sorry for the recent buyer at the Spink Simon Greenwood auction who spent £6,000+ on three bogus bisect covers? Having this pdf would have saved him a lot of money!

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).
