;) | WILLIAM FOGARTY, Barbados "used elsewhere" St. Vincent postal history 1937 printed sender address cover to William Hughes, St. Vincent with KGV 1d, 1½d, 2½d neatly pmk'd Kingstown C/21 MY 37. Ex DUGGLEBY Established in 1926 it was the island's largest multiple department store. During the 1930s, Fogarty's had the reputation of being 'the poor man's store' and it was believed that this is why it was spared from the fury of the 1937 riots in Bridgetown. However, the fire which occurred on January 20, 1970, was less merciful. It gutted William Fogarty (Barbados) limited as firemen directed jets of water on the front of the building. The fire went on to sweep the whole block £24 |
;) | CLARKE, NICKOLLS & COOMBS to St. Lucia changed St. Vincent 1900 cover with albino embossed Clarke, Nickolls & Coombs, London flap with GB QV 1d lilac pmk'd HOMERTON S.O. dated NO 27 00 to James Gray Matheson, Post Office, Kingstown, St. Lucia changed St. Vincent, b/stamped (delayed arrival) Kingstown reversed C/DE 25 00. Ex DUGGLEBY This was once one of Britain’s leading confectionary manufacturer's. Set up by three men, Clarke, Nickolls & Coombs, the company later combined their names to create ‘Clarnico’. By 1899 the company employed 2,000 men and women, mainly from the local area, and made 700 different varieties of sweets. The location on the Lee Navigation allowed easy bulk deliveries of sugar carried by barge from London’s docks. Bought by Trebor in 1969 and later part of the Cadburys group. £48 |

;) | GB/40c in red ink, St. Vincent postmark/cancel The worn GB/40c (used Kingstown, only found in black ink per PML Page 124) has never been recorded in red ink, and this copy with UPRIGHT SMALL STAR wmk is a re-perforated 1881 QV 4d bright blue (SG.38) and probably too late to be considered as small "c" Biabou use. Ex DUGGLEBY This stamp comes from the Vincent Duggleby "G.P.O. Cancellations" collection and was written-up incorrectly as 4d ultramarine-blue (SG.43). £175 |

;) | 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 |

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 |
;) | BIABOU, St. Vincent postmark/cancel C/AP 22 86 on QV 1d rose (SG.48a). £30 |
